Question

a man has 25 coins in his pocket all of which are dimes and quarters. if the total value of his change is 430 cents, how many dimes and how many quarters does he have?

Answer 1

Answer:16 quarters and 3 dimes

Explanation:

430/25 (Quarters) = 17

25x16

(Because you can’t have 17 since 25x17=425 leaving no room for dimes.)

=400

Now 430-400=30

30 more cent is needed,

30/10(Dime value)

Is 3, so the answer is the man has 16 quarters and 3 dimes
