Question

Bao has some dimes and some quarters. She has no less than 15 coins worth at most $3 combined. If Bao has 10 dimes, determine the maximum number of quarters that she could have.

Answer 1

8 quarters

Explanation:

If Bao has 10 dimes, that is $1.00. The problem tells us that she has $3 at most and no less than 15 coins so she would need $2 more dollars. 4 quarters equals $1 so therefore she would have to have 8 quarters.
