44.50=x/7+0.3x+x/10 is this the right equation for this problem and if so hoe do i solve it
Jeff is counting his small change and finds that he has collected $44.50. He has one-seventh as many quarters as dimes, 0.3 times as many loonies as dimes, and one-tenth as many toonies as dimes.
Let the number of Dimes =D P.S. This is "slang" for Canadian coin currency!!.
Quarters =1/7D
Loonies =3/10D
Toonies =1/10D
0.10D + 0.25(D/7) + 3D/10 + 2/10D =$44.50
0.10D + 1/28D + 0.3D + 0.2D =$44.50
0.6357142857...D =$44.50 divide both sides by 0.6357142857
D = 70 Dimes
70/7 =10 Quarters
0.3 x 70 =21 Loonies
70 x 1/10 =7 Toonies. So that:
[70x.10] + [10 x 0.25] + [21 x $1] + [7 x $2]=$44.50
