You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x = number of half dollars
\n" ); document.write( "2x = number of quarters
\n" ); document.write( "2(2x) = 4x = number of dimes
\n" ); document.write( "3(4x) = 12x = number of nickels\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Total value, multiply number of coins times the value of each coin in cents, and the total value of the coins is $10 or 1000 cents. (Doesn't it make \"cents\" to do it this way??)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "50(x) + 25(2x) + 10(4x) + 5(12x) = 1000
\n" ); document.write( "50x + 50x + 40x + 60x = 1000
\n" ); document.write( "200x = 1000
\n" ); document.write( "x= 5 Half dollars
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 10 Quarters
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 20 Dimes
\n" ); document.write( "12x = 60 Nickels\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check: Does it add up to $10.00??? You tell me!!\r
