# of pennies = p
\n" ); document.write( "# of dimes = 2p
\n" ); document.write( "# of quarters = 2p + 13
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "p + 10(2p) + 25(2p + 13) = 3165
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "p + 20p + 50p + 325 = 3165
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "71p + 325 = 3165
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "71p = 2840
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "p = 40
