\n" ); document.write( "N=nickels; P=pennies=4N; D=dimes=5N+1
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "1(P)+5(N)+10(D)=777
\n" ); document.write( "1(4N)+5N+10(5N+1)=777
\n" ); document.write( "4N+5N+50N+10=777
\n" ); document.write( "59N=767
\n" ); document.write( "N=13 ANSWER 1: He has 13 nickels.
\n" ); document.write( "P=4N=4(13)=52 ANSWER 2: He has 52 pennies.
\n" ); document.write( "D=5N+1=5(13)+1=66 ANSWER 3: He has 66 dimes
