A storekeeper goes to the bank to get $10 worth of change.
\n" ); document.write( " She request twice as many quarters as half dollars,
\n" ); document.write( "twice as many dimes as quarters,
\n" ); document.write( "three times as many nickels as dimes,
\n" ); document.write( " and no pennies or dollars.
\n" ); document.write( "How many of each coin did the store keeper get?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"get $10 worth of change.\"
\n" ); document.write( ".05n + .10d + .25q + .50h = 10.00
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"twice as many quarters as half dollars,\"
\n" ); document.write( "q = 2h
\n" ); document.write( "h = .5q
\n" ); document.write( "replace .5 q with d (see next equation)
\n" ); document.write( "h = d
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\" twice as many dimes as quarters,
\n" ); document.write( "d = 2q
\n" ); document.write( ".5q = d
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 2
\n" ); document.write( "q = 2d
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\" three times as many nickels as dimes,\"
\n" ); document.write( "n = 3d
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".05n + .10d + .25q + .50h = 10.00
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write total$ equation in terms of d
\n" ); document.write( ".05(3d) + .10d + .25(2d) + .5(d) = 10
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".15d + .10d + .50d + .5d = 10
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "1.25d = 10
\n" ); document.write( "d = \"10%2F1.25\"
\n" ); document.write( "d = 8 dimes
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "n = 3(8) = 24 nickels
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "q = 2(8) = 16 quarters
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "h = 8 half dollars
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "See if that adds up
\n" ); document.write( ".05(24) + .10(8) + .25(16) + .50(8) =
\n" ); document.write( "1.20 + .80 + 4.00 + 4.00 = $10; confirms our solutions\r
