\n" ); document.write( "Write a simple equation for each statement, c = no. of pennies; q = no. of quarters
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"Lynn has $8.58 in quarters and pennies.\"
\n" ); document.write( ".01c + .25q = 8.58
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"If she has eight times as many pennies as quarters,\"
\n" ); document.write( " c = 8q
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "how many of each does she have?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute 8q for c in the 1st equation, find q:
\n" ); document.write( ".01(8q) + .25q = 8.58
\n" ); document.write( ".08q + .25q = 8.58
\n" ); document.write( ".33q = 8.58
\n" ); document.write( "q = 8.58/.33
\n" ); document.write( "q = 26 quarters
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "8 * 26 = 208 pennies
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution:
\n" ); document.write( ".01(208) + .25(26) =
\n" ); document.write( "2.08 + 6.50 = 8.58; confirms our solution
