Best Answer

there are

23 quarters

37 dimes

to do this use simultaneous equations

to make this simpler i will assign variables to amount of quarters and dimes

x-quarters

y-dimes

you know you have 60 coins, so amount of quarters plus dimes is 60

x+y=60

you also know the amount is equal to $9.45

since quarters are $0.25 and dimes are $0.10 another equation can be made

0.25x+0.10y=9.45

this equation shows what you do when you count your change

now solve the first equation for a variable using algebra

x=60-y

you can then plug this new value into your second equation

0.25(60-y)+0.1y=9.45

you can now solve for y, which is the number of dimes

y=37

now plug this number back into x=60-y to get the amount of quarters

x=60-(37)

x=23

23 quarters

37 dimes

A man has twenty coins consisting of dimes and quarters if the dimes were quarters and quarters were dimes hw would have ninety cents more then he has now how many dimes and quarters does he have?

The man has 13 dimes and 7 quarters, which equate to $3.05 $1.30 + $1.75 If he had 13 quarters and 7 dimes he would have $3.95 $3.25 + 70c The method used to work this out was dividing 90c by the difference between the value of a dime and a quarter- i.e. 15c . 90 / 15 = 6, so of 20 coins, 6 more were dimes than quarters. Subtract 6 from 20, then halve the result = 7 the lower number is 7, the higher number is 7+6, = 13. Please also note that 'Quarters' is spelled with 2 'r's
