Answer:

10 Quarters

12 Dimes

Step-by-step

Let x = number of quarters (0.25)

22-x=number of dimes (0.10)

.25x +.10(22-x) = 3.70

.25x+2.2(-.10x) =3.70

-.25x       -.25  

                 .15x -2.2=3.70

                         -2.2   -2.2

[tex]\frac{.15x}{.15} \\[/tex]=[tex]\frac{1.50}{.15\\}[/tex]   x=10

So basically...

10 Quarters

22-10=12 So, 12 Dimes
