a coin jar holds dimes and quarters. A coin jar holds dimes and quarters. There are ten less quarters than dimes. There is a total of $3.80. How many dimes are in the jar

There are 18 dimes in the jar

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of dimes in the jar

y = number of quarters in the jar

Total = $3.80

There are ten less quarters than dimes

y = x - 10

0.1x + 0.25y = 3.80

0.1x + 0.25(x - 10) = 3.80

0.1x + 0.25x - 2.5 = 3.80

0.35x = 3.80 + 2.5

0.35x = 6.30

x = 6.30/0.35

x = 18
