***
let d=number of dimes
let n=number of nickels
let q=number of quarters
..
d+n+q=31
n+q=31-d
..
d+1=n+q (One more dime=nickles and quarters put together)
d+1=31-d2d=30
d=15
..
n+q=d+1
n+q=15+1=16
q=16-n
..
.10d+.05n+.25q=4.70
.10d+.05n+.25(16-n)=4.70
.10*15+.05n+4-.25n=4.70
1.5-.20n+4=4.70
.20n=.80
n=4
q=16-n=12
how many coins of each kind does he have?
number of dimes=15
number of nickels=4
number of quarters=12
