\n" ); document.write( "====
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity: d = 5q
\n" ); document.write( "Value:: 10d + 25q = 1200 cents
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for \"d\" and solve for \"q\":
\n" ); document.write( "10(5q) + 25q = 1200
\n" ); document.write( "75q = 1200
\n" ); document.write( "q = 16 (# of quarters)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"d\":
\n" ); document.write( "d = 5q
\n" ); document.write( "d = 5*16 = 80 (# of dimes)
