Answer 1

Answer:

$6.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount of money = 0.25q + 0.1d

where q is the number of quarters and d is the number of dimes

The problem states we have 18 quarters: d = 18

And that there are 15 dimes: d = 15

Plugging it in we get

= 0.25(18) + 0.1(15)

= 4.5 + 1.5

= 6.0
