Sally has 20 coins in her piggy bank, all dimes and quarters. The total amount of money is $3.05 If d = the number of dimes and q = the number of quarters Sally has, one of the linear equations that could be used to model this situations is

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]d + q = 20[/tex]

[tex]0.25d + 0.10q = 3.05[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Coins = 20

Value = $3.05

Required

Determine the equation that represent this

From the question, we have that

d = the number of dimes

q = the number of quarters

This implies that;

[tex]d + q = 20[/tex]

Also;

[tex]1 d=\$0.25\ \ and\ \\1 q= \$0.10[/tex]---------- Standard unit of conversion;

This implies that

[tex]0.25d + 0.10q = 3.05[/tex]

Hence, the equations are:

[tex]d + q = 20[/tex]

[tex]0.25d + 0.10q = 3.05[/tex]
