q = d + 2
\n" ); document.write( "n = d + q substituting for q: n = d + (d + 2)
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\n" ); document.write( "0.05n + 0.10d + 0.25q = 3.75
\n" ); document.write( "now substitute with the equivalents above:
\n" ); document.write( "0.05(d + d + 2) + 0.10d + 0.25(d +2) = 3.75
\n" ); document.write( "0.05d + 0.05d + 0.10 + 0.10d + 0.25d + 0.50 = 3.75
\n" ); document.write( "group like numbers:
\n" ); document.write( "0.05d + 0.05d + 0.10d + 0.25d + 0.10 + 0.50 = 3.75
\n" ); document.write( "0.45d + 0.60 = 3.75
\n" ); document.write( "0.45d = 3.15
\n" ); document.write( "d = 7 there are 7 dimes
\n" ); document.write( "q = d + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9 there are 9 quarters
\n" ); document.write( "n = d + q = 7 + 9 = 16 there are 16 nickels
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "0.10(7) + 0.25(9) + 0.05(16)
\n" ); document.write( "= 0.70 + 2.25 + 0.8 = 3.75 Correct
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
