Question 567635: Hi I am trying to help my daughter with her math homework and I know the answer to the question but I am really not sure how I came up with it. Here is the question.
Victor has 8 coins. He has 2 fewer dimes than nickels, and one more penny than nickels. How much money does he have?
In my head I figured out that there is going to be 1 dime, 3 nickels, and 4 pennies and that would of course equal 29 cents. Unfortunately we have to explain our answer and show the work and that is where I am stuck.
Thanks for your help!
