Work in cents.

10d + 25q = 355 and d + q = 25 so d = 25 - q

Substitute this last: 10(25 - q) + 25q = 355 ie 250 - 10q + 25q = 355

ie 15q = 105 so q = 7, making d = 18

Check: 7 x 25c + 18 x 10c = $1.75 + $1.80 = $3.55

And there you have it...

Keoki has 22 coins that are all dimes and quarters. If their value is 4.35 how many dimes and quarters does Keoki have?

If Keoki has 14 quarters and 8 dimes (for a total of 22 coins), she has $3.50 and $0.80 or $4.30 in coins. If Keoki has 15 quarters and 7 dimes (for a total of 22 coins), she has $3.75 and $0.70 or $4.45 in coins. If Keoki has 22 coins that are all dimes and quarters and their value in total is $4.35 as asked, there isn't a combination of coins that will permit her to have both 22 coins and $4.35 worth of coins.

A cash register contains 12.50 and there are only nickels dimes and quarters There are twice as many dimes as nickels and twice as many quarters as dimes How many quarters are in the cash register?

Nickles - 10 $0.50dimes - 20 $2.00quarters - 40 $10.000.50+2.00+10.00 = $12.50 containing 40 quarters---Here's how to solve this with Algebra :Let N be the number of nickels, so that2N is the number of dimes, and2(2N) or 4N is the number of quarters.A nickel is 5 cents, a dime is 10 cents, and a quarter is 25 cents,and the total in the cash register is $12.50Multiplying by their cents values, we have5(N) plus 10(2N) plus 25 (4N) = 12505N + 20N + 100N = 1250125 N = 1250N= 10So the number of nickels is 10, dimes 20, and quarters 40.
