So far I
have thought of an expression to represent the coins
3x-4( for the dimes)
3x(for the nickels)
x (for the quarters) Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! (x * 0.25) + (3x * 0.05) + ((3x - 4) * 0.10) = 8
0.25x + 0.15x + 0.30x - 0.40 = 8
0.70x = 8.40
x = 12
There are 12 quarters, 36 nickels and 32 dimes.
