\r\n" );
document.write( "A lot of money !!\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Probably, all coins are quarters ! - Let's check.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "25 quarters are worth 25*25 = 625 cents.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Exactly 30 cents more than the given 595 cents.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Why the given is 30 cents less than 625 cents ??\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Because some of 25 quarters must be replaced by real dimes.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "How many? The difference between a quarter and a dime is 15 cents. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence WHAT ?? - Exactly two of 25 quarters must be replaced by dimes.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Answer. 2 dimes and 23 quarters.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Check. 2*10 + 23*25 = 595 cents.\r\n" );

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, I showed you how to solve this simple problem MENTALLY, WITHOUT using equations.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "But you can solve it with equations, too.
\n" ); document.write( "Exactly as the other tutor did it for you.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You may ask me: for what reason did I show it to you ?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The answer is: to take you out of the box.\r
