Question 669779: Two lads played a game in which the winner of each round is awarded a nickel from a referee. When they stop, one lad has won four rounds and the other lad has won 25 cents more than his competitor. How many rounds did they play?

the lad that has won 4 rounds has won 20 cents.
the other lad has won 25 cents more so he has won 45 cents.
since 5 cents is equal to 1 round, the total number of rounds must be 4 + 9 = 13.
