Nancy and Kerry have the same number of coins.
Nancy has only dimes and Kerry has only quarters.
If Kerry has $3 more than Nancy, how much money does Nancy have ?
:
Let c = no. coins each has
.10c = .25c - 3
3 = .25c - .10c
3 = .15c
c = 3/.15
c = 20 coins so Nancy has $2

:
Check by finding how much Kerry has
.25(20) = $5 which is $3 more
