When Ryan counted some dimes and quarters he had 196 coins and a total of $39.40. How many coins of each kind does Ryan have?

Respuesta :

quarters = x
dimes = 196 - x

10(196 - x) + 25x = 3940
1960 - 10x +25x = 3940
1960 + 15x = 3940
15x = 1980
x = 132

169 - 132 = 64

Therefor there are 132 quarters and 64 dimes
