ACT Math Q&A

1. A parking meter in downtown Seattle takes dollar coins and quarters only. When the machine was last emptied, there were 250 coins in it, with a total value of $137.50. Which of the following systems of equations gives the number of quarters, q, and the number of dollar coins, d ? 

• d + q = 250 and 100d + 25q = 137.50

• d + q = 250 and 0.1d + 0.25q = 137.50

• d + q = 250 and d + 0.25q = 137.50

• d + q = 137.50 and d + 0.25q = 250
