Question 436317: Robin has a collection of nickels, dimes, and quarters worth $38.50. She has 10 more dimes than nickels and twice as many quarters as dimes. How many coins of each kind does she have? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x equal the number of nickels:
5x+10(x+10)+25(2)(x+10)=3850
5x+10x+100+50x+500=3850
65x=3250
x=50
Robin has 50 nickels, 60 dimes, and 120 quarters.
