Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d represent the number of dimes. Then (57-d) is the number of quarters, and the total value (in cents) is ...
10d +25(57 -d) = 1065
-15d +1425 = 1065 . . . . . . simplify
-15d = -360 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 1425
d = -360/-15 = 24 . . . divide by the coefficient of d
There are 24 dimes in the jar.
