Four unknown variables and two equations. The easiest restriction is on how many quarters, being some natural number from 1 to 4.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "p, n, d, q the count of each coin.
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.01p%2B0.05n%2B0.1d%2B0.25q=1.05\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"p%2B5n%2B10d%2B25q=105\" from account of the money value\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"p%2Bn%2Bd%2Bq=14\" the account of the coins\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solve each for p and equate.
\n" ); document.write( "\"system%28p=105-5n-10d-25q%2Cp=14-n-d-q%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"105-5n-10d-25q=14-n-d-q\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-5n-10d-25q%2Bn%2Bd%2Bq=14-105\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-4n-9d-24q=-91\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%284n%2B9d%2B24q=91%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "CASES FOR THE QUARTERS
\n" ); document.write( "q=4
\n" ); document.write( "\"4n%2B9d=91-24%2A4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4n%2B9d=-5\"
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "q=3
\n" ); document.write( "\"4n%2B9d=91-24%2A3\"

\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "q=1
\n" ); document.write( "\"4n%2B9d=66\"
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "Which of these cases will work to give the right whole number values for n and d?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Look at a graph for case q=1. Treat vertical axis as d, horizontal as n,
\n" ); document.write( "looks bad!
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28300%2C300%2C-1%2C15%2C-1%2C15%2C-%284%2F9%29x%2B66%2F9%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The graph n and d for case q=2,
\n" ); document.write( "guess is that still not good.
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28300%2C300%2C-1%2C12%2C-1%2C12%2C-4x%2F9%2B43%2F9%29\"\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "See for case q=3,
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28300%2C300%2C-1%2C10%2C-1%2C10%2C-4x%2F9%2B19%2F9%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Maybe....\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A different way could be play with the simplest combination of coins to give $1.05 and split some coins to get a count of 14.
\n" ); document.write( "\"system%28q=4%2Cn=1%2Cc=5%29\", c for count of coins but we must have c=14. Splitting the nickel might not help much, at least not yet.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Split one quarter.
\n" ); document.write( "\"system%28q=3%2Cd=2%2Cn=2%2Cc=7%29\"----still not enough coins c.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Split one more quarter.
\n" ); document.write( "\"system%28q=2%2Cd=4%2Cn=3%2Cc=9%29\"----we want to be able to get an even number of coins.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Maybe split one nickel from that.
\n" ); document.write( "\"system%28q=2%2Cd=4%2Cn=2%2Cp=5%2Cc=13%29\"-----we want ONE more coin, so maybe split one dime.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"system%28Try+then+q=2%2Cd=3%2Cn=4%2Cp=5%2Cc=14%29\"-----THIS must be the combination.
