A piggy bank contains $17.35 in nickels, dimes and quarters.

\r\n" );
document.write( "$0.05N + $0.10D + $0.25Q = $17.35\r\n" );

document.write( "5N + 10D + 25Q = 1735\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Divide through by 5\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "N + 2D + 5Q = 347\r\n" );
