To formulate the system of equations based on the scenario described, we need to represent the total amount of money in terms of dimes and quarters, as well as the relationship between the number of dimes and quarters.

  1. Total value equation: The value of dimes (10 cents each) and quarters (25 cents each) totals $47.50. This can be expressed as: \[ 0.10d + 0.25q = 47.50 \]

  2. Relationship equation: The number of quarters (q) is 10 more than twice the number of dimes (d). This relationship is expressed as: \[ q = 2d + 10 \]

Thus, the system of equations based on the scenario is: \[ \begin{cases} 0.10d + 0.25q = 47.50 \ q = 2d + 10 \end{cases} \]

The correct response from the options provided is: {0.10d + 0.25q = 47.50 \ q = 2d + 10}
