Ted has $5.50 And quarters and dimes. The number of dimes Is 3 times the number of quarters. Which system of equations can be used to find q, the number of quarters, and d, the number of dimes, that Ted has?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The System of equations to find number of quarters and number of dimes is [tex]\left \{ {{0.1d+0.25q=5.5} \atop {d=3q}} \right.[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of money Ted has = $5.5

Let the number of quarter be 'q'.

Also Let number of dimes be 'd'.

Now dimes  = $0.10

quarters = $0.25

Now  we can say that 0.1 number of dimes multiplied by 0.25 number of quarters is equal to total amount of money Ted has.

framing in equation form we get;

[tex]0.1d+0.25q=5.5 \ \ \ \ equation \ 1[/tex]

Also Given:

The number of dimes Is 3 times the number of quarters.

So we can say that Number of dimes is equal to 3 multiplied by number of quarters.

framing in equation form we get;

[tex]d=3q[/tex]

Hence the System of equations to find number of quarters and number of dimes is [tex]\left \{ {{0.1d+0.25q=5.5} \atop {d=3q}} \right.[/tex].
