if she had one more quarter, they would be worth three times as much as her nickels

Answer provided by our tutors

this problem should specify a question...


you need a total on the quarters that is divisible by 3, so '75' comes first to mind


if one had 5 nickels, that would be 25 cents


if one had 2 quarters, one more would give 75 cents, or three times the worth of 5 nickels


she had 2 quarters and 5 nickels
