In a piggy bank on his dresser, Tom has a total of $2.85 in pennies and quarters. If
the number of pennies is 5 more than three times the number of quarters, how
many pennies and quarters does he have in his piggy bank?

Relax

Respuesta :

Set the number of Pennies as X and the number of quarters as Y.

3Y+5=X
0.01X+0.25Y=2.85

X=35 Y=10

35 Pennies and 10 Quarters
