The second equation should be
25q + 10d = 3285, becasue it refers to the number of cents, not dollars
If you substitute 171 - d for q in the second equation, you can solve for d.
25q + 10d = 3285, becasue it refers to the number of cents, not dollars
If you substitute 171 - d for q in the second equation, you can solve for d.
