\r\n" );
document.write( "Let us add 6 pennies to the collection (mentally, of course) and take off 8 nickels from the collection (mentally, again).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the updated collection is worth 290 + 6 - 8*5 = 256 cents.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "After updating, the collection contains equal number of pennies, dimes and quarters, according to the condition. \r\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, we can group now the coins in sets containing {1 penny, 1 dime and 1 quarter} each.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Each the set is worth 1 +5 + 10 = 16 cents.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The number of such sets is  = 16.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, the updated collection contains 16 pennies, 16 nickels and 16 dimes.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the original collection has 10 pennies, 24 nickels and 16 dimes.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "You can check that all the conditions are satisfied.\r\n" );
