similar to but not exactly the same given values as another exercise posted about a week ago.


x, ten-centavo coins
y, twentyfive-centavo coins
y-x=10
y=x%2B10

10x%2B25%28x%2B10%29=2250
.
.
10x%2B25x%2B250=2250
35x=2000
x=2000%2F35=400%2F7=57.14285
Your problem description must be wrong. WHOLE number results are needed.
