Question 456870: The jaspers collect nickles, dimes and quarters in a jar. When they count the change, there are twice as many nickles as there are quarters. If there is $15.30 in dimes, and $74.80 in all, how many quarters are there? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! quarters = x
nickels = 2x
dimes = 15.30
Total = 74.80
...
25x+5*2x+ 1530= 7480
25x+10x+1530=7480
35x=7480-1530
35x=5950
x= 170
