Question 1164384
.
<pre>

You may GROUP coins, by placing one penny, one nickel and one dime in each group.


Each group is worth then 1 + 5 + 10 = 16 cents.


Having the total of 160 cents  MEANS  that you have  {{{160/16}}} = 10  such groups.


From this point, there is only one step to get the 


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


OR


<pre>
    x + 5x + 10x = 160

    16x          = 160

      x          = 160/16 = 10,
</pre>

and you get the same answer.


Solved.
