D+N=84 OR D=84-N
\n" ); document.write( ".10D+.05N=5.55
\n" ); document.write( ".10(84-N)+.05N=555.
\n" ); document.write( "8.4-.10N+.05N=5.55
\n" ); document.write( "-.05N=5.55-8.4
\n" ); document.write( "-.05N-2.85
\n" ); document.write( "N=-2.85/.05
\n" ); document.write( "N=57 IS THE NUMBER OF NICLELS.
\n" ); document.write( "D+57=84
\n" ); document.write( "D=84-57
