James has pennies, nickles and dimes in his bank. he has more than $1.60 and less than $2.00 in the bank.
\n" ); document.write( " there are 5 times as many pennies as dimes.
\n" ); document.write( " p = 5d
\n" ); document.write( " :
\n" ); document.write( " there is an equal number of nickels and dimes.
\n" ); document.write( "n = d
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " what is the exact amount of money in his bank?
\n" ); document.write( "Try a total of 1.80
\n" ); document.write( ".01p + .05n + .10d = 1.80
\n" ); document.write( "in terms of d
\n" ); document.write( ".01(5d) + .05d + .10d = 1.80
\n" ); document.write( ".05d + .05d + .10d = 1.80
\n" ); document.write( ".20d = 1.80
\n" ); document.write( "d = 1.8/.2
\n" ); document.write( "d = 9 dimes
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "n = 9 nickles
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "p = 5(9) = 45 pennies
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "See if that works: .45 + .45 + .90 = $1.80 can be the exact amt
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
