Amber has 20.65 in quarters and pennies. Amber has fifteen more pennies than quarters. How many of each coin does she have
-------------
2065 - 15 = 2050
An equal # of pennies & quarters = 2050
2050/26 = 78.846... not an integer
--> no integer solution, you can't have part of a coin.

.25q+.01p=20.65,
p=q+15
2095 works not 2065, p = 95, q = 80
