Question 1100989
<br>
...or solve the problem informally, like this:<br>
If all 41 coins were nickels, the value would be 41*$.05 = $2.05.<br>
The actual value is $4.85, which is $2.80 more than $2.05.<br>
Each quarter is worth $.20 more than each nickel.<br>
So the number of quarters is {{{2.80/.20 = 14}}}<br>
And then the number of nickels is 41-14 = 27
