\n" ); document.write( "Norman has a dollar consisting of nickels, dimes and quarters. He has 2 ore dimes tan quarters and 6 more nickels than dimes. How many coins of each type does he have?
\n" ); document.write( "

Let number of quarters be Q
\n" );
document.write( "Then number of dimes = Q + 2, and number of nickels = Q + 2 + 6, or Q + 8
\n" );
document.write( "The value equation, thus formed is: .25Q + .1(Q + 2) + .05(Q + 8) = 1
\n" );
document.write( ".25Q + .1Q + .2 + .05Q + .4 = 1
\n" );
document.write( ".25Q - .1Q + .05Q + .2 + .4 = 1
\n" );
document.write( ".4Q + .6 = 1
\n" );
document.write( ".4Q = 1 - .6
\n" );
document.write( ".4Q = .4
\n" );
document.write( "Q, or number of quarters = , or 
\n" );
document.write( "You should be able to find the number of dimes and nickels. \n" );
