Question 1013555: Lisa has $5 in nickels, dimes, and quarters. She has 3 times as many nickels as dimes. She has 5 times as much money in quarters as she does in nickels. How many of each does she have? Answer by FrankM(1040) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5N+10D+25Q = 500
N=3D
25Q=5(5N) >>> This tells me that Q=N
5(3D)+10D+25(3D)= 500
15D+10D+75D=500
100D=500
D=5
N=Q=15
15 nickels is $0.75
5 dimes is $0.50
15 quarters is $3.75
total $5.
