Question 310514: in a child's coin bank, there is a collection of nickels, dimes, and quarters that amount to $3.20. There are 3 times as many quarters as nickels, and 5 more dimes that nickels. How many coins of each kind are there?
Solution: Count of coins
Let X = numbers of nickels
3x = the numbers of quarters
x + 5 = the numbers of dimes
Value of the count
.05x = value of the quarters
0.25(3x) = value of the quarters
0.10(x + 5) = value of the dimes
