Marcy has a total of 100 dimes and quarters. If the total value of the coins is $14.05, how many quarters does she have?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

d+q=100 .10d+.25q=14.05

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Still confused...

OpenStudy (mertsj):

From the first equation...d= 100-q Substitute that into the second equation and solve.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay thank you! I solved it and got 27 quarters..

OpenStudy (mertsj):

That is correct.
