Question 1144564
.
We have $2.30 {{{highlight(in)}}} {{{highlight(coins)}}}, 1/4 of them are quarters, 1/2 {{{highlight(of)}}} them are dimes, 1/4 {{{highlight(cross(or))}}} <U>are</U> pennies. 
How many quarters, dimes, pennies are there? 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



<pre>
If x is the number of pennies, the the number of dimes is 2x and the number of quarters is x, the same as the number of pennies.


Then your "money" equation is


    x + 10*(2x) + 25*x = 230 cents


    46x = 230


    x = 230/46 = 5.


<U>ANSWER</U>.  5 pennies, 10 dimes and 5 quarters.
</pre>

Solved.
