Comparison of Total Values of Coins

Easy Arithmetic Fractions, Decimals, And Percents

Consider the following information:

John has a collection of coins consisting of both quarters and dimes. The total value of his quarters is $10.00. Each quarter is worth $0.25. Let the number of quarters be represented by $q$. Now, if John has twice as many dimes as quarters, find the total value of his dimes.

Let the total value of the dimes be represented by $d$. Since a dime is worth $0.10, the equation for the total value of the dimes can be expressed as:

$$d = 0.10 imes (2q)$$

Based on this information, compare the total values of quarters and dimes. Choose the correct option below:
