I'll start off assuming he had quarters, nickels, and dimes
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"q\"$ = number of quarters
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"d\"$ = number of dimes
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"n\"$ = number of nickels\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I'll make a chart with $\"q+%2B+d+%2B+n+=+11\"$ :
\n" ); document.write( "q - - d - - n - - sum
\n" ); document.write( "5 - - 5 - - 1 - - 1.80
\n" ); document.write( "4 - - 5 - - 2 - - 1.60
\n" ); document.write( "3 - - 5 - - 3 - - 1.40
\n" ); document.write( "3 - - 3 - - 5 - - 1.30
\n" ); document.write( "2 - - 5 - - 4 - - 1.20
\n" ); document.write( "1 - - 5 - - 5 - - 1.00
\n" ); document.write( "He has 1 quarter, 5 dimes, and 5 nickels \n" ); document.write( "
