Question 185096: Betsy has twice as many dimes as nickles and one more penny than nickels. Together she has $1.31. How many of each coin does she have? Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let n be the number of nickles.
2n+n+(n+1)
.10*2n + .05n + .01(n+1) = 1.31
.2n+.05n+.01n+.01=1.31
.26n=1.30
n=5
There are 5 nickles, 10 dimes and 6 pennies
