    0.1d + 0.25q = 320

    d + q + 4 = 2d ⇒ q + 4 = d (we can replace d in the above equation)

    0.1 (q + 4) + 0.25q = 320

    0.1q + 0.4 + 0.25q = 320

    0.35q = 319.6

    q = 319.6 / 0.35 = 913.14 ≈ 913

    0.25 x 913 = $228.25

    0.10 x 917 = $91.70

    total $319.95

    there is not answer that will result in exactly $320

    if Kelly has 914 quarters and 918 dimes = (914 x $0.25) + (918 x 0.10) = $320.30.
