document.write( "Nickels + dimes + quarters   = 1200   cents  total\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "5*(3D)  + 10D   + (D + 2)*25 = 1200   <<<---=== It is the money equation;  \"D\" stands for dimes.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "15D + 10D + 25D + 50 = 1200\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "50D = 1200 - 50 = 1150\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "D = 1150/50 = 23.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Answer.  23 dimes;  3*23 = 69 nickels  and  23+2 = 25 quarters.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Check.   23*10 + 5*69 + 25*25 = 1200 cents = $12.00.   ! Correct !\r\n" );
