Question 583103
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


1.  This problem has no solution.  In order to have $1.75 consisting of only dimes and nickels, you have to have an odd number of nickels.  But no matter how many dimes you have, twice as many is an even number.  You cannot simultaneously have an odd number of nickels and an even number of nickels.
