Question 12585: A store keeper goes to the bank to get $10 worth of change. He requests twicew as many quarters as half dollars, twice as many dimes as qurters, 3 times as many nickles as dimes, and no pennies or dollars. How many of each coin did the storekeeper get? Answer by rapaljer(4671) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x = number of half dollars
2x = number of quarters
2(2x) = 4x = number of dimes
3(4x) = 12x = number of nickels
Total value, multiply number of coins times the value of each coin in cents, and the total value of the coins is $10 or 1000 cents. (Doesn't it make "cents" to do it this way??)
