Louis has three more quarters than dimes for a total of $1.80. What equation can you use to determine how many dimes, x, in his pocket.

He has 6 quarters equaling $1.50 and 3 dimes equaling $0.30 which totals $1.80 altogether. Also explains the 3 more quarters than dimes

how many players are there?

step-by-step explanation:

let x and 400 - x be the two numbers.  

==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68 from the statement of the problem.  

< ==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68  

==> 340 - 0.05x = 332  

< ==> -0.05x = -8 ==> x = 160, the first number ==> 400 - x = 240, the second number.
