Question 1097422: Ezzie has 56 coins. She has twice as many quarters as nickels and one more dime than she has quarters. How many of each type of coin does she have? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! nickels=x
quarters=2x
dimes=2x+1
x+2x+2x+1=56
5x+1=56
5x=55
x=11 nickels
2x=22 quarters
2x+1=23 dimes
add to 56.
