Answer: D
Step-by-step explanation:
You don’t necessarily need to solve any equation to get one answer. Just eliminate the choices one by one.
It wouldn’t be A because q+d can’t equal 12 and 1.95
It wouldn’t be B because there needs to be 12 coins. Therefore there cannot be more than 12 dimes. Not just because there would then be no quarters, but because 6 dimes doesn’t equal $1.95
It wouldn’t be C because the number of coins need to add up to 12 and not 1.95
Therefore it would be D because it would be a true statement. q+d=12 means there would be 5 quarters + 7 dimes = 12 coins
And 0.25 times 5 is 1.25
And 7 times 0.10 is 70
$1.25+$0.70=$1.95
Hopefully it helped in one way or another.
