Question 1026915: A newspaper carrier has $7.20 in change. He has 6 more quarters than dimes but 5 times as many nickels as quarters. How many coins of each type does he have

n = number of nickels
d = number of dimes
q = number of quarters
q = d + 6
n = 5q
Write everything in terms of d.
5n + 10d + 25q = 720
25q + 10d + 25q = 720
50q + 10d = 720
50d + 300 + 10d = 720
60d = 420
d = 7
The newspaper carrier has 7 dimes, 13 quarters, and 65 nickels.
