\r\n" );
document.write( "Kendra is VERY SMART.   She prefers to solve the problem MENTALLY, instead of using equations - when and where it is reasonable . . . \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, she groups  ( ! MENTALLY ! )  her coins in sets, each containing  (1 nickel and 2 dimes).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "According to the condition, she can do it (!)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then each group is worth 2*10+5 = 25 cents;  hence, the number of groups is   = 11.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, the ANSWER is:  there are  11  nickels and  22  dimes  in Kendra's collection.\r\n" );
