Theo is CONFUSED, and the fact that he makes these problems so COMPLEX when they don't have to be, has more than likely led him down the \"WRONG-ANSWER\" path. Hence, just IGNORE his response!
\n" ); document.write( "Also IGNORE the other response that brings in UNNECESSARY fractions, which most people dread dealing with!\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let number of 20c coins be T
\n" ); document.write( "Then he has 2T, $1 coins, and 36 - (T + 2T), or 36 - 3T, 50c coins
\n" ); document.write( "We then get: .5(36 - 3T) = .2T + 4.4
\n" ); document.write( "18 - 1.5T = .2T + 4.4
\n" ); document.write( "- 1.5T - .2T = 4.4 - 18
\n" ); document.write( "- 1.7T = - 13.6
