If all 60 coins were quarters, Joey would have 60 * .25, or $15.00
\n" ); document.write( "His actual total is $11.60, a difference of $3.40
\n" ); document.write( "The difference between a quarter and a nickel is .20
\n" ); document.write( "3.40/.20 = 17
\n" ); document.write( "He has 17 nickels @ .05 = .85
\n" ); document.write( "That leaves 43 quarters @ .25 = 10.75
\n" ); document.write( ".85 + 10.75 = $11.60
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
