A collection of coins contains a total of sixteen dimes and quarters. It is worth $2.20 in all. How many dimes are in the collection?

9514 1404 393

  12 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let q represent the number of quarters. Then the number of dimes is 16-q and the total value is ...

  0.25q +0.10(16 -q) = 2.20

  0.15q +1.60 = 2.20 . . . . . . . simplify

  0.15q = 0.60 . . . . . . . . subtract 1.60

  q = 4 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.15

  16-q = 12

There are 12 dimes in the collection.

answer rather than having to add and subtract the measurements of the semi-circle, notice that the semicircle to the left of ad is actually identical in area to the blank semicircle-shaped space to the left of bc. so if we transferred the red semicircle into the blank space, we would end up with a square of side length 24 cm. the area of a square is s^2 = 24^2 = 676 cm^2.

u also answered this so i think u would know but i am here to
