Question 628297: Justin has $5.00 in quarters, dimes, and nickels. If he has a total of 26 coins and he has twice as many dimes as nickels, how many of each coin does he have? Answer by reviewermath(1029) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x = number of nickels
so 2x = number of dimes
and 26 - (x + 2x) = 26 - 3x = number of quarters
5 cents = 1 nickel
10 cents = 1 dime
25 cents = 1 quarter
$5 = 500 cents
, , and
Answer: There are 3 nickels, 6 dimes and 17 quarters.
