Problema Solution

Bob's coin bank contains nickels, dimes, and quarters. There are twice as many dimes as quarters, and seven more nickels than dimes. The total value of the coins is $3.10. How many of each coin are there?

Answer provided by our tutors

Nickel:2x+7

Dime:2x

Quarter: x

So the equation is

0.05(2x+7)+0.1*2x+0.25*x = 3.1

x=5

So

Nickel:17

Dime: 10

Quarter: 5
