1) Your question doesn't make sense. The bank has money in both paper and coins (in denominations of pennies,nickels, etc). If the bank has x amount of money in dimes, then that is what it has, nothing more and nothing less.
2) 10 + q + 15 ?
or do you mean 10 plus the quotient of a number 'divided' by 15? In which case, the expression would be
10 + x / 15

Y is the story of what happened to X.
1. Let X be the amount of money in the bank in dollars.
Let Y be the amount of money in the bank measured in dimes.
Y is equal to the value of x divided by 10.
Or...
Y is equal to ten percent of X.
2.An expression...not an equation...
Let X be a number...(15/X)+10
Number 1 is wrong...can you tell me why?
