Landon finds some dimes and quarters under the couch cushions. How many coins does he have if he has 5 dimes and 10 quarters? How many coins does he have if he has d dimes and q quarters?

Answer 1

15 coins, d + q coins

If asking for the amount (in $)

5(.10) + 10(.25) = 2.5+.5 = $3

He would have 0.1d + 0.25q for d dimes and q quarters.
