Question 57534: The Coin Shop will purchase at most $20.00 per person per day in silver coins, provided that the are packaged in sets of 6 nickels, 4 dimes, and 1 quarter. What is the greatest number of sets that Steve could bring to the shop to sell?
Answer by rcmcc(152) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

First you must find the amount in face value the coin sets have, this works out to $0.95 cents.
0.95X<20.00
divide out the .95 cents to isolate X,
21.05263158=x
because you can only have whole sets you must round down. so
Steve can sell 21 sets per day.
