The only coins that Kyle has are dimes and quarters. He has a total of 30 coins. The total value of Kyle's coins is [tex]$4.80[/tex]. Which of the following systems of equations can be used to find the number of dimes, [tex]d[/tex], and the number of quarters, [tex]q[/tex], Kyle has?

[tex]\[
\begin{array}{l}
d + q = 30 \\
0.10d + 0.25q = 4.80
\end{array}
\][/tex]


Sagot :

To determine the number of dimes ([tex]\( d \)[/tex]) and quarters ([tex]\( q \)[/tex]) that Kyle has, we need to set up a system of equations based on the information given:

1. Kyle has a total of 30 coins. This means that the sum of the number of dimes and quarters is 30. We can write this as:
[tex]\[ d + q = 30 \][/tex]

2. The total value of the coins is [tex]\( \$4.80 \)[/tex]. Since each dime is worth [tex]\( \$0.10 \)[/tex] and each quarter is worth [tex]\( \$0.25 \)[/tex], we can express the total value of all the dimes and quarters as:
[tex]\[ 0.10d + 0.25q = 4.80 \][/tex]

So, the correct system of equations that can be used to find the number of dimes ([tex]\( d \)[/tex]) and the number of quarters ([tex]\( q \)[/tex]) is:
[tex]\[ d + q = 30 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 0.10d + 0.25q = 4.80 \][/tex]

Looking at the provided options, these equations correspond to:
[tex]\[ d + q = 30 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 0.10 d + 0.25 q = 4.80 \][/tex]

Thus, the correct pair of equations from the provided options is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{d + q = 30 \text{ and } 0.10d + 0.25q = 4.80} \][/tex]
