You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+n+ = number of nickels
+20+-+n+ = number of quarters
----------------------------
The value of all her coins is:
+5n+%2B+25%2A%28+20+-+n+%29+ ( in cents )
-----------------------------
If you wanted the answer in dollars:
+.05n+%2B+.25%2A%28+20+-+n+%29+ ( in dollars )
