A man has $1.15 in quarters and dimes in his pocket. If he has one more dime than he has quarters, how many of each coin does he have?

Answer 1

3 quarters and 4 dimes

Answer 2

Thank you, but can you show the steps?

Answer 3

number of quarters ---- x
" he has one more dime than he has quarters" --->
dimes ---- x+1

now for the "value" of coins equation:
25x + 10(x+1) = 115
25x + 10x + 10 = 115
35x = 105
x = 3
