    13 dimes and 19 quarters

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Assumed that there are x number dimes and y number of quarters.

    Given that there are 6 more quarters than dimes:

    y = x + 6

    Given that the total value is 6.05:

    0.1x + 0.25y = 6.05

    Substitute y = x + 6 into 0.1x + 0.25y = 6.05:

    0.1x + 0.25 (x + 6) = 6.05

    0.1x + 0.25x + 1.5 = 6.05

    0.35x = 4.55

    x = 13

    Substitute x = 13 into y = x + 6:

    y = 13 + 6 = 19

    13 dimes and 19 quarters
