Question 1052779
.
If Frank has 2 times as many nickels as quarters and they have a combined value of 210 cents, how many of each coin does he have?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
In accordance with the condition, one can group the coins in sets containing 2 nickels and one quarters in each set.

The worth of each set is  2*5 + 25 = 35 cents.

Hence, the number of these sets is  {{{210/35}}} = 6.

Thus there are 6 quarters and 12 nickels.
