<PRE><B>Question 1200567</B>
-------------------------------------------------------------------
There are three times as many nickels as dimes, and there are ten more quarters than dimes. If the total value of the coins is $40.00 then,...
----------------------------------------------------------------

{{{system(n=3d,q-d=10)}}}


{{{system(n=3d,q=d+10)}}}



The money equation can be written all in one variable, d for dimes.
{{{5*3d+10d+25*(d+10)=4000}}}

Simplify that and solve for d....</PRE>
