Question 1049894: Nancy has $4.80 in change. She has three times as many nickles as quarters. She has two more quarters than dimes. How many coins of each type does she have? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x represent number of Quarters:
25x + 10(x-2) + 5(3x) = 480 CENTS make sense
50x - 20 = 480
50x = 500
x = 10, number of Quarters. Dimes 8, Nickels 30
AND Checking
250 + 80 + 150 = 480 CHECKS!
