A jar was full of quarters and $1 coins. 2/5 of the coins in the jar were quarters. The rest were $1 coins. There were 10 more $1 coins than quarters. How many coins were there in the jar altogether?

Answer 1

50 coins

Explanation:

if there is 1/5 more 1 dollar coins than quarters that means 1/5 of the total number is equal to 10, and if 1/5 is 10 that means 5*10=50 is the total number
