Let the number of dimes = xLet the number of quarters = y You know that each dime is worth $0.10You know that each quarter is worth $0.25 Using the variables above, we can write two equations that represents the total number of coins and total amount. x + y = 47 eq10.10x + 0.25y = 8 eq2 You can use the substitution/elimination method to solve for x and y.<span>3/6/2017 </span>| Michael J.<span>

X= 8 because by multiplying the fraction with a whole number you had to to convert it to i a fraction and that equals one and then 1/6 times 48 is 8
