Question

Tony has 110 cents in nickels, dimes and pennies. He has 3 more nickels than dimes and 4 times as many pennies as dimes. How many of each kind of coin does Tony have?

Answer 1

Explanation:

let number of dimes=x

nickels=x+3

pennies=4x

10 (x)+5(x+3)+4x=110

10 x +5x+15+4x=110

19x=110-15=95

x=95/19=5

dimes=5

nickels=5+3=8

pennies=4*5=20
