\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let amount of nickels be N\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then amount of quarters = 2N\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Amount of nickels = N + 5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Create a value equation, the likes of: \"highlight_green%28.05N+%2B+.25%282N%29+%2B+.1%28N+%2B+5%29+=+9.6%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solve for N, or amount of nickels. Then determine amount of quarters and dimes.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then do a check!! \r
