q

d

dimes,

n

nickels, and

c

cents. Later he discovers that

x

x

of the dimes were counted as cents. To correct the total obtained the clerk must:

<span class='latex-bold'>(A)</span>\ \text{make no correction} \qquad <span class='latex-bold'>(B)</span>\ \text{subtract 11 cents} \qquad <span class='latex-bold'>(C)</span>\ \text{subtract 11}x\text{ cents} \\ <span class='latex-bold'>(D)</span>\ \text{add 11}x\text{ cents} \qquad <span class='latex-bold'>(E)</span>\ \text{add }x\text{ cents}
