Question

PLEASE HELP im super confused

Answer 1

x=quarters

x-4 =dimes

.25x+.10(x-4)=2.05

.25x + .10x-.40=2.05

.35x = 2.45

divide by 0.35, both sides

x=7

x-4=3

7 quarters ($1.75)

3 dimes ($0.30

Total=$2.05

so you need 7 quarters and 3 dimes

Explanation:

Answer 2

7 Quarters and 3 dimes

Explanation:

You have to find how many quarters (0.25) and dimes (0.10) are in $2.05. There are 7 quarters, which will add up to $1.75. You can't have 8 quarters because then you would have 2 dollars, and there wouldn't be enough for a dime, there would only by 5 cents left, or a nickle. Then, you find out how many nickels you need, which is 3.

.10x3=.30. 1.75+0.3=2.05.

I hope you understood:)
