Given:

10d + 25q = 895 cents

d + q = 52 coins

Multiply everything in the second equasion by 10 (to get rid of the dimes).

10d + 10q = 520

Subtract this 3rd equation from the 1st equation:

10d + 25q = 895

10d + 10d = 520

Giving you: 15q = 375

Divide both sides by 15 and you get q = 25

This means you have 25 quarters ($6.25) and 27 dimes ($2.70)

CHECK: 25 quarters + 27 dimes = 52 coins (CORRECT)

$6.25 + $2.70 = $8.95 (CORRECT)

Why do coins have a pattern on their edge?

Coins such as dimes and quarters have what's called "reeded" edges. This idea dates back to when coins contained precious metals like gold or silver. Sometimes people would shave off a bit of the coin to keep for themselves. By adding reeding, it prevents it from happening.
