Let n be nickels, d be dimes, and q be quarters. Then:
n+d+q=32 and (total amount of coins)
5n+10d+25q=390 (total value of coins
Since n=d+q, 2n=32 thus n=16, and d+q=16. So we have:
d+q=16
n=16
10d+25q=390-5(16)=310
d+q=16
So, Solving for q, we get:
(10d-10d)+(25q-10q)=310-160
15q-150
q=10
d+q=16 so d=6; and we know n=16; so we have
10 quarters, 6 dimes, and 16 nickels. ☺☺☺☺
