Let x=number of quarters
\n" ); document.write( "Then 4x=number of nickels
\n" ); document.write( "Let's deal in pennies
\n" ); document.write( "Value of quarters=25x
\n" ); document.write( "Value of nickels=4*5x=20x
\n" ); document.write( "And we are told that the above amounts=360
\n" ); document.write( "So, our equation to solve is:
\n" ); document.write( "25x+20x=360 collect like terms
\n" ); document.write( "45x=360 divide each side by 45
\n" ); document.write( "x=8--------------------------------number of quarters
\n" ); document.write( "4x=4*8=32--------------------------------------number of nickels\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "CK
\n" ); document.write( "25*8+5*32=360
\n" ); document.write( "200+160=360
\n" ); document.write( "360=360\r
