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

\n" ); document.write( "Take away the 2 \"extra\" 5ch coins, leaving equal numbers of 5ch and 25ch coins with a total value of nu.3.30.

\n" ); document.write( "The value of a group consisting of one 5ch coin and one 25ch coin is 30ch.

\n" ); document.write( "The number of such groups needed to make nu.3.30=330ch is 330/30=11.

\n" ); document.write( "Bring back the 2 \"extra\" 5ch coins, giving 11 25ch coins and 13 5ch coins.

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: 13 5ch coins

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

\n" ); document.write( "Let x be the number of 5ch coins -- which is what we are to find
\n" ); document.write( "Then x-2 is the number of 25ch coins

\n" ); document.write( "The total value of the coins is 340ch:

\n" ); document.write( "\"5%28x%29%2B25%28x-2%29=340\"

\n" ); document.write( "Solve using basic algebra to again find the number of 5ch coins is x=13.

\n" ); document.write( "
