Let number of 10 centavos be \"x\"
\n" ); document.write( "The number of 5 centavos is \"x+19\"
\n" ); document.write( "Value of 10 centavos is (10)x
\n" ); document.write( "Value of 5 centavos is (5)(x+19) = 5x + 95
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( " Value of 10 centavos + Value of 5 centavos = 3050
\n" ); document.write( " 10x + 5x + 95 = 3050
\n" ); document.write( " 15x = 2955
\n" ); document.write( " x = 197 ( number of 10 centavos)
\n" ); document.write( " x + 19= 216 (number of 5 centavos)\r
