Question

Larry has $3.10 consisting of quarters, dimes, and nickels. He has twice as many quarters as

dimes and 3 more dimes than nickels. Find the number of each kind of coin.

Answer 1

Larry has 10 Quarters, 5 Dimes and 2 Nickels.

Explanation:

Since Larry has 5 Dimes, that's already 50 cents, with twice as many Quarters as Dimes, that gets him to a total of $3.00. But because he has 3 more Dimes than Nickels, he has 2 Nickels, leading to the correct answer of $3.10
