Question

Thomas has $6.35 in dimes and quarters. The number of dimes is three more than three times the number of quarters. If q represents the number of quarters, then which of the following expressions represents the number of dimes that Thomas has?

3d + 3 3q + 3 6.35 - q 10(3q + 3)

Answer 1

3q+3 because if the dimes is 3x as many as the quarter and plus 3 then you would multiply the quarters by 3 then add 3 and that would give you the number of dimes
