Answer:

20 dimes and 10 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Q and D stand for the numbers of Quarters and Dimes.  I'll use pennies in the calculation just to make it easier (without the decimal point clutter).

We are told that:

Q + D = 30

Rearrange to isolate one of the variables.  I'll pick Q:

Q = 30-D

We also know:

25Q + 10D = 450

Substitute the value we found for Q

25(30-D) + 10D = 450

750 - 25D + 10D = 450

-15D = -300

D = 20

Q = 30-D

Q = 10

==================================

Check:

20*(10) + (10*(25) = 450?

200 + 250 = 450  YES
