Don't answer if you don't know

Wanda has $3.55 in dimes and quarters. She has 3 more quarters than dimes. How many quarters does she have?

Answer 1

0.10d + 0.25q = 3.55
q = d + 3

0.10d + 0.25(d + 3) = 3.55
0.10d + 0.25d + 0.75 = 3.55
0.10d + 0.25d = 3.55 - 0.75
0.35d = 2.80
d = 2.80/0.35
d = 8.....8 dimes

q = d + 3
q = 8 + 3
q = 11 <=== 11 quarters
