Sunita has a coin collection of dimes, quarters, and silver dollars.
\n" ); document.write( "The number of quarters is 5 less then three-fourths of the number of dimes.
\n" ); document.write( "q = (3/4)d - 5
\n" ); document.write( "The number of silver dollars is 7 more than five-eighths of the number of dimes.
\n" ); document.write( "s = (5/8)d+7
\n" ); document.write( "There are 116 coins in all.
\n" ); document.write( "s + q + d = 116
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for \"q\" and \"s\" and solve for \"d\"::
\n" ); document.write( "(5/8)d+7 + (3/4)d - 5 + d = 116
\n" ); document.write( "(5/8)d+7 + (6/8)d + d = 121
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(11/8)d = 114
\n" ); document.write( "d = 82.9
\n" ); document.write( "Note:: The number of dimes must be a whole number, not 82.9.
