one dime is $0.10
one quarter is $0.25
Let x = number of quarters
and there are 6 less dimes than quarters so this will be x - 6
The total value is $3.95
The equation will be :
[tex]\begin{gathered} 0.25(x)+0.10(x-6)=3.95 \\ 0.25x+0.10x-0.6=3.95 \\ 0.35x=3.95+0.6 \\ 0.35x=4.55 \\ x=\frac{4.55}{0.35}=13 \end{gathered}[/tex]The number of dimes is x - 6
13 - 6 = 7
The answer is 7
