I need help with this question pls! :)

Hi there!

We can let x = dimes and y = quarters.

We know that one dime = $0.10 and a quarter = $0.25, so:

$3.05 = $0.10x + $0.25y

And:

17 = x + y

Solve the system of equations. We can rearrange the bottom equation to create an expression equal to y:

17 - x = y

Substitute this into the top equation for y:

3.05 = 0.10x + 0.25(17 - x)

Distribute and simplify:

3.05 = 0.10x + 4.25 - 0.25x

3.05 = 4.25 - 0.15x

Solve for x:

-1.2 = -0.15x

x = 8

Find y using the above expression:

17 - 8 = y

y = 9
