There are quarters and dimes in a box. Their total value is $5.40. Quarters are five times as many as dimes. How many quarters and how many dimes are in the box?
I use the following variables and I'm trying to solve by using system of two equations
x= quarters
y= dimes
I think I have the first equation, but not sure how to do the rest or even if the first equation is correct.
5x+y=5.40
