Maria has $1-coins and 50-centavos coins. If she has 3,600 coins in all, and amounting to $2250, how many coins of each kind does she have?
------------
One-variable solution:
Equation:
value + value = value
100x + 50(3600-x) = 225000 centavos
---
100x + 180000 - 50x = 225000
150x = 45000
----
x = 300 (# of $1 coins)
3600-300 = 3300 (# of 50 centavos coins)
