Question 1104603
.
<pre>
5*N            + 10*D   + 25*Q      = 710    cents


5*(4*(x+6))    + 10*x   + 25*(x+6)  = 710


5*(4x + 24)    + 10*x   + 25x + 150 = 710


20x + 120      + 10x    + 25x + 150 = 710


55x + 270 = 710  ====>  55x = 710 - 270 = 440  ====>  x = {{{440/55}}} = 8.


<U>Answer</U>.  8 dimes,  8+6 = 14 quarters and  4*14 = 56  nickels.


<U>Check</U>.   5*56 + 8*10 + 14*25 = 710 cents.   ! Correct !
