Jessica has 14 quarters and dimes in her piggy bank that total $2.60. Which equation is set up to solve this word problem? {q represents quarters and d represents dimes}

Answer 1

I don't see any choices, but because you have 2 unknowns you must have 2 equations to solve this.

Eq. I: q + d = 14

Eq. II: .25q + .10d = 2.60

You can use either the elimination method or the substitution method to solve this. I'll leave that up to you.

Hope this helps!
