You can put this solution on YOUR website! The Jaspers collect nickels,dimes,and quarters in a jar. When they count the change in the jar there are twice as many nickels as there are quarters. If there is $15.30 in dimes and $74.80 in all how many quarters are there?
------------------------
Equations:
Quantity Equation: n = 2q
Value Equation: 5n + 1530 + 25q = 7480 cents
-----------------------------------
Substitute to love for "q":
5*2q + 1530 + 25q = 7480
35q = 5950
q = 170 (# of quarters)
-------
Since n = 2q, n = 340 (# of nickels)
------------
Since # of dimes = 1530/10 = 153 (# of dimes)
