Chi has $11:30 in dimes and quarters. The number of dimes is three more than three times the number of quarters. How many of each are there?

DO NOT COPY AND PASTE. THE ANSWER IS 63 DIMES AND 20 QUARTERS. HOW DO I GET THIS.

To solve this question, we first have to know that we are trying to assemble

and solve equations with two variables: x

and y.

Assuming x

is the number of dimes and y

is the number of quarters, we

can assemble the equations.

since the number of dimes is 3 more than three times the number of quarters,

we get x=3y+3.

Additionally, multiplying the number of dimes by 0.1 and the number of

quarters by 0.25,

we get the total value of x

and y

which appears by this

equation 0.1x+0.25y=11.30

.

Substituting the value of x

in the second equation, we get 0.1(3y+3)+

0.25y=11.30

.

Solving this equation, we get that the value of x,

we get x=3×20+3=

Using the first equation to get the value of x,

we get x=3×20+3=

60+3=63

dimes.

step-by-step explanation:

we cannot know this, because the other students could have handed out 10 flyers, or they could have handed out 100. one way, the mean would go up, and another way, the mean would go down.
