First you need to solve for the number of coins.
\n" ); document.write( "The combination that works is
\n" ); document.write( "2 Q, 1 D, 1 N and 1 P.
\n" ); document.write( "So then,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P%28N%29=1%2F6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P%28Q%29=2%2F6=1%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So then,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=P%28N%29%2AP%28Q%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=%281%2F6%29%281%2F3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=1%2F18\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
