Answer:

Hi,

Answer B
Sue 10 dimes, 25 quarters

Yolanda 10 dimes, 30 quarters

Explanation:

Let's assume x the Sue's number of dimes

2x the Sue's number of quarters (twice as many of dimes)

x then the Yolanda's number of dimes (both have the same number of dimes)

3x the Yolanda's number of quarters (Yolanda has tree times as many quarters

Sue' total : 2x*25+10*x (cents)

Yolanda's total: 3x*25+10x (cents)

Total= 1450 (cents)


2x*25+10x+3x*25+10x=1450\\\\145x=1450\\x=10\\\\Sue\ (10\ dimes,\ 20\ quarters)\\Yolanda\ (10\ dimes,\ 30\ quarters)\\
