You can put this solution on YOUR website!
.05x+.10x+.25x=20 (since the quantity of each coin is the same, then you can represent each quantity with the same variable (letter). Email me at justin.sheppard.tech@hotmail.com if you need any other assistance. It will not be "bothering" me. I would actually prefer seeing you work out the problems and being able to type in comments while you are working to help you better understand the content.
