    Rob has 40 coins, all dimes and quarters, worth $7.60. How many dimes and how many quarters does he have?

    We have two equations where d is the number of dimes and q is the number of quarters:
    1. d + q = 40
    2. 0.1d + 0.25q = 7.60
    Using our simultaneous equation calculator, we get:
    d = 16
    q = 24
