Question 1083607: Otis has a box of coins that he uses when playing poker. The box contains 44 coins consisting of pennies, dimes, and quarters. The number of pennies is equal to the number of dimes, and the total value is $4.37. How many of each denomination of coin does he have in the box? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1c=x
10c=x
25c=44-2x
1x+10x+25(44-x)=437, multiplying by 100
11x-50x+1100=437
-39x=-663
x=17 pennies, 0.17
17 dimes 1.70
10 quarters 2.50
add to $4.37
