Question 725429: Hello. I have attempted to set up an equation for this word problem, but struggling with it.
"Dan has pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters in his pocket. He has a total of 36 coins. He has twice as many nickels as dimes and four times as many pennies as quarters. If he has $2.27 in coins, how many of each type does he have?"

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 4 unknowns need 4 equations
p+n+d+q=36
2d=n
4q=p
p+5n+10d+25q=227
d = 7, n = 14, p = 12, q = 3
