Answer:

Option (3).

Explanation:

This question is incomplete; find the compete question in the attachment.

Equation (1): q = d + n

"Total number of quarters is equal to the sum of number of dimes and nickels."

Equation (2): 0.25q + 0.10d + 0.05n = 6.05

"Total value of the coins in the jar is $36"

Equation (3) : q + d + n = 36

"There are a total of 36 coins in the jar."

By comparing the options given, we find the third option which matches with equation (3)

Therefore, option (3) is the correct answer.

The given system of eqqations models the coins in a jar containing n nickels, d dimes-example-1
