NEED ANSWERED ASAPP!!!

Given:

Total number of coins (Quarters and dimes) = 60

Total amount = $12.45

To find:

The number of quarters and dimes.

Solution:

Let x be the number of quarters and y be the number of dimes.

We know that,

1 quarter = 0.25 dollar

1 dime = 0.10 dollar

Total coins:               ...(i)

Total amount:             ...(ii)

From (i), we get

         ...(iii)

Putting this value in (ii), we get

Divide both sides by 0.15.

Putting x=43 in (iii), we get

So, the number of quarters is 43 and the number of dimes is 17.

Therefore, the correct option is b.
