Question

If Ben has 2 times as many dimes as quarters and they have a combined value of 360 cents, how many of each coin does he have?

Answer 1

Dimes = X

Quarters = 2X

Dimes + Quarters = 3.60

 

---------------------------

 

(.1)*X + 2X(.25) = 3.60

0.6X = 3.60

X=6

 

----------------------------

 

Dimes = 6

Quarters = 12
