d for dimes

\n" ); document.write( "q=-4+d or q=d-4\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Amount of money is \"0.1d%2B0.25q\" dollars, or by substitution for q,
\n" ); document.write( "amount of money is \"0.1d%2B0.25%28d-4%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.1d%2B0.25d-1\"

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You wanted x to represent the count of dimes, so you use this instead and say the amount of money is x-1.
