Question 997625
Let {{{ x }}} = number of each type of coin
{{{ 25x + 10x + 5x = 1000 }}} ( in cents )
{{{ 40x = 1000 }}}
{{{ x = 25 }}}
25 quarters, 25 dimes 25 nickels
check:
{{{ 25*25 = 625 }}}
{{{ 25*10 = 250 }}}
{{{ 25*5 = 125 }}}
-------------------
{{{ 625 + 250 + 125 = 1000 }}}
{{{ 1000 = 1000 }}}
OK
