Question

If Sergio has 16 quarters and dimes in his pocket, and they have a combined value of 265 cents, how many of each coin does he have?

Answer 1

9 dimes and 7 quarters. Each quarter is 25 cents and each dime is 10 cents. 25 x 7 = 175, 10 x 9 = 90. Add 175 and 90 together and it gives you 265.
