28 more dimes than nickels. There are 5 times as many quarters as dimes.
\n" ); document.write( "Let n represent the number of nickels.
\n" ); document.write( "Dimes \"+n%2B28\"
\n" ); document.write( "Quarters \"5%28n%2B28%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Total is 4760 Cents (Cents makes sense)
\n" ); document.write( "5n + 10(n+28) + 25*5(n+28) = 4760
\n" ); document.write( "140n + 280 + 3500 = 4760
\n" ); document.write( "140n = 4760 - 2100 - 280
\n" ); document.write( "140n = 980
\n" ); document.write( "n = 7, number of nickels. Dimes 35 \"+n%2B28\" . Quarters 175 \"5%28n%2B28%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "35 + 350+ 4375 = 4760 CENTS
\n" ); document.write( "CHECKS!
