\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "Since the number of coins of each nomination is the same, you can regroup the coins in groups of three coins in each: 5p + 10p + 20p. \r\n" );
document.write( "The worth of each group is 5p + 10p + 20p = 35p.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The number of groups is \"280%2F35\" = 8.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, there are 8 coins of 5p, 8 coins of 10p and 8 coins of 20p.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "In all, there are 3*8 = 24 coins.\r\n" );
