A:
\n" ); document.write( "nickles dimes only
\n" ); document.write( "\"system%28n%2Bd=30%2C5n%2B10d=190%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "B:
\n" ); document.write( "nickles, dimes, quarters
\n" ); document.write( "\"system%28n%2Bd%2Bq=30%2C5n%2B10d%2B25q=190%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "(might need to consider more than one solution)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Continuing B:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let k=q.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"system%28n%2Bd=30-k%2Cn%2B2d=38-5k%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "E2-E1------->\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"d=38-5k-30%2Bk\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28d=8-4k%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Note that only Natural Number values are acceptable if combination must contain nickles, dimes, and quarters.
\n" ); document.write( "Also note \"k=0\" not relevant, and \"k%3E=2\" not acceptable, leading to wrong kind of number.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Only k possible is \"k=1\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"d=8-4%2A1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"d=8-4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"d=4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Combination should be \"system%28q=k=1%2Cd=4%2Cn=25%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "Quarters: 1
\n" ); document.write( "Dimes: 4
\n" ); document.write( "Nickles: 25
