how many nickels and dimes are in $9.00 if there are four times more dimes than nickels
----------
4 times more dimes = 5 times as many.
Each set of 1 nickel and 5 dimes = 55 cents
---
900/55 = not an integer.
================
The author of the problem thinks 4 times more = 4 times as many.
--
1 time more = 2x
2 times more = 3x
3 times more = 4x
etc.
