\r\n" );
document.write( "8 quarters make exactly 2 dollars.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Take off 8 quarters from your collection.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then rest of coins in the collection are equal amounts of quarters and dimes, and the updated collection is worth $3.50 = 350 cents.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Group them in pairs, one dime and one quarter in each pair. Then each pair is worth 10 + 25 = 35 cents.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, he number of the pairs is 10.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, there are 10 quarters and 10 dimes in the updated collection.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now return back those 8 quarters, you took away in the beginning.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Answer.  There are 10 dimes and 18 quarter in the original collection.\r\n" );
