Question 625312
If you have 27 nickels, and that is 3 times more than dimes, you divide 27 by three. Then you get 9 dimes. Then, multiply 27 by 5 to get the value of nickels, wich is $1.35.  Then 9*10 to get the value of dimes, which is 90 cent. Then you add 1.35 to .90 cent, and get 2.25.  So you need 75 cents more, which equals 3 quarters. In conclusion, you need 27 nickels, 9 dimes, and 3 quarters!
