The number of $0.25 valentines are three more then twice the number of $0.50 valentines. The number of $0.75 valentines was one less than the number of $0.50 ones. If he spent $5.25 all together how many of each kind did he buy?  I need to solve this using letting x represent one number and y represent another. </SPAN>\n" );
