Berts bank contains twice as many nickels as quarters and 3 more dimes than nickels
Let x be the number of nickels:
25(x/2) + 10(x+3) + 5x > 500 CENTS make sense
25x + 20(x+3) +10x > 1000
25x + 20x + 60 + 10x > 1000
55x > 940
x > 17
atleast how many dimes does he have?
x+ 3 > 17 +3
Dimes > 20
At least 21
