Lisa has 160 coins that are worth $31.00. If the coins are all quarters (25 cents) and dimes (10 cents), how many fewer dimes than quarters does Lisa have?

A. 15
B. 25
C. 40
D. 60
E. 100

let quarters = x and dimes = y
so x+y=160--(a)
and 25x+10y=3100--(b)
target find x-y
solve a & b
we get x= 100 & y = 60
x-y ; 40
OPTION C

Q+d= 160
0.1q+ 0.25d= 31

Multiply by 4 to get 0.4q+ d= 124
Subtract both to get,:
0.6q= 36
So q =60 d= 100
D-q is therefore, 40
