In order of the most to the least, you have:
\n" ); document.write( "Q
\n" ); document.write( "D
\n" ); document.write( "N
\n" ); document.write( "P
\n" ); document.write( "You can have 5 pennies or 10 pennies
\n" ); document.write( "Suppose
\n" ); document.write( "Q = ?
\n" ); document.write( "D = 1
\n" ); document.write( "N = 1
\n" ); document.write( "P = 5
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Now I need to put the amounts in descending order
\n" ); document.write( "Q = ?
\n" ); document.write( "D = 7
\n" ); document.write( "N = 6
\n" ); document.write( "P = 5
\n" ); document.write( "D + N + P = 18 and that amount is $1.05
\n" ); document.write( "Add 2 more dimes, and I get $1.25, or 5 quarters
\n" ); document.write( "Now I have:
\n" ); document.write( "Q = 1000/25 - 5 = 35
\n" ); document.write( "D = 9
\n" ); document.write( "N = 6
\n" ); document.write( "P = 5
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Total coins is 55, and
\n" ); document.write( "P*1 = 5
\n" ); document.write( "N*5 = 30
\n" ); document.write( "D*10 = 90
\n" ); document.write( "Q*35 = 875
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "1000 cents total or $10.00
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this makes sense\r
