Question

a handful of coins has the value of 1 dollar and 79 cents there are 3 times as many dimes as quarters and 5 more pennies than dimes if there are only 3 types of coins how many of each type of coin are there

Answer 1

3 Quarters 9 dimes 14 pennies

Explanation:

so dimes are x, quarters are y, and pennies are z. Next we know that x*3 y is what dimes are and 5 more pennies then dimes so z+5. Now we do 3 quarters since thats about 100 but less then 3*3=9 so 190 we have 90+75 cents now then we add 14 the cursed number lol but we add 14 because 9+5 is 14 and there are 5 more pennies then dimes.
