Devin has pennies, dimes and quarters. There are two times as many pennies as quarters. There are six times as many dimes as quarters. How many of each coin does he have?
----------------
Let the number of quarters be "x" ; value of these is 25x cents
# of pennies is "2x; value of these is 2x cents
# of dimes is "6x"; value of these is 10(6x) = 60x cents
---------------------------------
Comments: To finish the problem you need to know the overall value
of the coins.
