\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if you have to have dimes, and if the number of dimes \"must\" be greater
\n" ); document.write( "than the other coins, then the other coins could be only nickels and pennies \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "but, the maximum number of coins you can have to make $\"5.00\" is if you use only dimes and pennies \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since the number of dimes \"must\" be greater, convert $\"5.00\" in dimes which is \"50\" dimes\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the smallest number dimes and pennies you can use is \"d\" and \"p\" to have \"x%3Ey\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"d%2Bp=50\"=> \"d=50-p\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"d%3Ep\"=>\"50-p%3Ep\" =>\"50%3Ep%2Bp\" =>\"50%3E2p\" =>\"25%3Ep\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, you can use less than \"25\" pennies and first number less than \"25\" is \"24\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then \"d=48\"dimes is $\"4.80\" and rest are \"p=20\" pennies\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, \"48\" dimes and \"20\" pennies are the maximum number of coins you can have to make $\"5.00\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
