I am making these harder than I need to. I am mixing something up and can't seem to figure out where I am going wrong.
Gina has saved $9.90 in dimes and quarters. She has twice as many dimes as quarters. How many of each coin does Gina have?
Q=2d
.10d + .25q = 9.90
.10d + .25 (2d) = 9.90
.10d + .5d = 9.90
.6d=9.90
------------
9.90/.6=16.50=(d)
Q= 2 (16.50) = 33
