I have 2 dimes and owe Jim a quarter. While I was scouring the street for another nickel, I passed a slot machine.
"Cool!" I thought, "Only 10 cents to play!" So feeling lucky, I put both my dimes in the machine and pulled the handle. Cha-Ching! Out popped well over 3.00 in dimes!
"I'd like to cash these in for as many quarters as possible," I said. The cashier looked at me as if I had grown a second head, then handed me 25 quarters and returned 10 dimes.
"Sorry," she said, "I don't have any more quarters than that."
"That's ok," I replied, "I just wanted to give Jim a good selection to choose from!"

Fruits Q and D are packaged into boxes.
If I have 1 box of Q and 1 box of D, the total number of fruits I have will not exceed 20.
If I have 25 boxes of Q and 10 boxes of D, the total number of fruits I have will be at least 300.
How many Qs and Ds do I have in one box?
