\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "You may GROUP coins, by placing one penny, one nickel and one dime in each group.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Each group is worth then 1 + 5 + 10 = 16 cents.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Having the total of 160 cents  MEANS  that you have   = 10  such groups.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "From this point, there is only one step to get the \r\n" );

document.write( "ANSWER.  10 pennies, 10 nickels and 10 dimes.\r\n" );

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "    x + 5x + 10x = 160\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    16x          = 160\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "      x          = 160/16 = 10,\r\n" );
