a coin bank contains 25 coins in nickels,dimes,and quarters. There are four times as many dimes as quarters.The value of the coins is $2.05. How many dimes are in the bank?
-------
Equations:
Quantity Eq:::: n + d + q = 25
Quantity Eq:::: d = 4q
Value Eq:::::::5n +10d+25q = 205
-------
Rearrange:
n + d + q = 25
0 + d -4q = 0
5n+10d+25q= 205
----------------------
Use any method you know to solve the system to get:
# of nickels = 15
# of dimes = 8
# of quarters= 2
