Here is my question:
A vending machine only accepts Quarters and Dimes. At the end of a day there are 200 coins in the machine that total $48.05. How many quarters are in the machine and how many dimes?
Well first off...I am not good in math so I used my calculator to determine that there are 187 Quarters and 13 Dimes, totaling $48.05.
I am unsure how to set up the equation. Is this anywhere close?
.25x + .10y = 48.05?
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED THANKS!
