    Without the 8 more dimes, he has sets of D's & Q's worth $6.65.

    665/35 = 19 sets

    Okay, so let's make the variable x the amount of quarters.

    We also need to assign the value to the numbers as well. So then you just assign 25 to quarters and 10 to dimes. So the equation should look like this:

    25x + 10 (x+10) = 240 (Values represented in cents ...)

    Distribute ...

    25x + 10x + 100 = 240

    Then ...

    35x = 140

    Define x

    x = 4

    So there are 4 quarters and 14 dimes
