A bank contains 27 coins consisting of dimes and quarters with a total value of $4.95. Find the number of dimes and quarters in the bank.
Let d be the number of dimes and q be the number of quarters.
From the given information, we can create two equations: d + q = 27 and 0.10d + 0.25q = 4.95 .
Solving these equations simultaneously, we find that there are 9 dimes and 18 quarters in the bank.
