Question 93469
stan has 52 quarters and nickels combined. if he has three times as many nickels as quarters, how much money does he have?
------------
Let # of quarters be "x" 
------------
# of nickels is "3x"
-------------
EQUATIOn:
x + 3x = 52
4x = 52
x = 13 (# of quarters; value of these is 25*13 = $3.25
3x = 39 (# of nickels; value of these is 39*5 = $1.95
---------------
He has $5.20

Cheers,
Stan H.
