x ten cent pieces
(28-x) twenty cent pieces
10 x + 20(28-x) = 430
10 x + 560 - 20 x = 430
10 x = 130
x = 13
28-x = 15
------------------
x= boys
x-4 = girls
2x-4 = 26
x = 15
x-4 = 11
(28-x) twenty cent pieces
10 x + 20(28-x) = 430
10 x + 560 - 20 x = 430
10 x = 130
x = 13
28-x = 15
------------------
x= boys
x-4 = girls
2x-4 = 26
x = 15
x-4 = 11
