<PRE><B>Question 862457</B>
A certain number of quarters, four times as many pennies as quarters, and six more dimes than pennies are worth $3.36. How many of each coin are there?
------------------------------
p = 4q
d = p + 6
---
Value Equation:
p + 10d + 25q = 336 cents
-----------------------------
p + 10(p+6) + 25(p/4) = 336
---------------------------------
11p + 60 + 25(p/4) = 336
Multiply thru by 4 to get:
----------------------------
44p + 25p = 4*276
69p = 4*276
-----
p = 16 (# of pennies)
-------------------------------
q = (1/4)p = 4 (# of quarters)
-----
d = p + 6 = 22 (# of dimes)
