d, how many dimes
\n" ); document.write( "n, how many nickels\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The description is transcribable into this system of equations:
\n" ); document.write( "\"system%28d%2Fn=4%2C0.1d%2B0.05n=3.60%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Simplify the system and solve for the two variables.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The money count equation should go something like this:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%280.1d%2B0.05n%29%2F0.05=3.60%2F%280.05%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "'
\n" ); document.write( "\"2d%2Bn=72\"
\n" ); document.write( "'
\n" ); document.write( "The coin relationship equation should be easily understood as this:
\n" ); document.write( "\"d=4n\", which can easily be substituted into the simplified money count equation.....
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
