Travis has a total of 20 coins consisting of nickels and quarters. The total value of the coins is $1.80. How many of each type of coin does he have?
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity Equatin: n + q = 20 coins
\n" ); document.write( "Value Equation:: 5n +25q= 180 cents
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "divide thru the bottom equation to get:
\n" ); document.write( "n + q = 20
\n" ); document.write( "n +5q = 36
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"q\":
\n" ); document.write( "4q = 16
\n" ); document.write( "q = 4 (# of quarters)
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"n\":
\n" ); document.write( "n + q = 20
\n" ); document.write( "n + 4 = 20
\n" ); document.write( "n = 16 (# of nickels)
