\r\n" );
document.write( "Your collection is such that you can group all coins in groups/sets containing 4 dimes and one nickel each.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Each group is worth 4*10+5 = 45 cents.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, the number of these groups is  = 120.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, the coin collection consists of 120 nickels and 120*4 = 480 dimes.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Answer.  The coin collection consists of 120 nickels and 480 dimes.\r\n" );
