\r\n" );
document.write( "He brought 3 quarters and added it to the collection.\r\n" );
document.write( "The \"value\" of the collection became $4.50 + 3*$0.25 = $5.25 = 525 cents.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now we can combine all the coins in groups in a way that each group contains 2 dimes, 1 nickel and 2 quarters.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Each group worth is 2*10 + 5 + 2*25 = 75 cents.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "How many groups are there?\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( " = 7.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "OK. Then 7 groups contain 2*7 = 14 dimes, 7 nickels and 2*7 = 14 quarters.\r\n" );

document.write( "Thank you, Santa !!\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Answer. The collection has 14 dimes, 7 nickels and 14-3 = 11 quarters.\r\n" );
