    d: number of dimes → the value is: 5 cents → i.e. $0.05

    x: number of quarters → the value is: 25 cents → i.e. $0.25

    Fred has 20 coins:

    d + x = 20

    d = 20 - x ← answer 13)

    The value is:

    = (d * 0.05) + (x * 0.25)

    = 0.05d + 0.25x → recall: d = 20 - x

    = 0.05.(20 - x) + 0.25x

    = 1 - 0.05x + 0.25x

    = 1 + 0.20x ← answer 14)

    Let x be the number of quarters and y be the number of dimes

    Then, x+y=20

    y = 20-x

    b)

    0.25x+0.10y dollars
