<PRE><B>Question 796865</B>
Beth has $2.77 in her coin jar - all in pennies (p), nickels (n) and dimes (d). If she has 53 coins in all and four more nickels than dimes, find how many of each type of coin she has. 
-------
Equations:
Coins equation: p + n + d = 53
Value equation: p +5n+10d = 277 cents
Quantity Equation: n-d = 4
======
p + n + d + 53
p +4n+10d = 277
0 + n - d = 4
===================
Solve the system for p,n, and d
