Question 276683
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


That's because your problem has no solution.  If you have 237 coins that are some mixture of either nickels or dimes, the least amount of money you could have would be $11.85 (237 nickels and 0 dimes) and the most you could have would be $23.70 (0 nickels and 237 dimes).  Hence, there is no way that the total amount of money could be as much as $52.90.
