\"Andy has 30 coins made up of quarters and half dollars\" means that \"q%2Bh=30\" where 'q' is the number of quarters and 'h' is the number of half dollars.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also, since \"their total value is $12.25\", this means that \"0.25q%2B0.5h=12.25\" (note: 0.25q is the total amount of money in terms of quarters only and 0.5h is the total amount of money in terms of half dollars only)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
