\n" ); document.write( "x = number of pennies
\n" ); document.write( "x = number of nickels
\n" ); document.write( "x = number of dimes
\n" ); document.write( "For each coin type, x is the same number\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1x = value from the pennies
\n" ); document.write( "5x = value from the nickels
\n" ); document.write( "10x = value from the dimes
\n" ); document.write( "values are in cents\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1x+5x+10x = 16x = total value
\n" ); document.write( "Set this equal to 144 cents ($1.44) and solve for x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "16x = 144
\n" ); document.write( "x = 144/16
\n" ); document.write( "x = 9
\n" ); document.write( "The wallet has 9 pennies, 9 nickels, and 9 dimes\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A = 9 pennies = 9 cents
\n" ); document.write( "B = 9 nickels = 9*5 = 45 cents
\n" ); document.write( "C = 9 dimes = 9*10 = 90 cents
\n" ); document.write( "A+B+C = 9+45+90 = 144 cents = 144/100 = $1.44\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The answers are confirmed.
