what is Algebra?

Algebra is the part of mathematics that helps represent problems or situations in the form of mathematical expressions.

Given:

total coins = 57

So,

D + Q = 57

D= 57 - Q....(1)

0.10D + 0.25 Q = 10.05

Using (1), we get

0.10(57 - Q) + 0.25Q= 10.05

5.7 - 0.10Q + 0.25Q = 10.05

0.15Q = 4.35

Q= 29

So, dimes = 57- 29= 28 dimes
