The problem is this:
Jessica has 16 dimes and quarters. Whitney has twice as many dimes and 1/3 as many quarters as Jessica. If they both have the same amount of money, what coins does each have?
I've tried using a chart and systems of equations to solve but can't figure it out. The solution is this:
Jessica has 10 dimes and 6 quarters
Whitney has 20 dimes and 2 quarters
Can someone show me the proper steps to arriving at this solution? Thanks!
