Question

Meghan has $1.10 I'm dimes nickels and pennies. She has three times as many nickels as pennies, and the number of dimes is two less than the of pennies. how many dimes nickels and pennies does she have?

Answer 1

n=3p and d=p-2 we are also told that:

p+n+d=110 using n and d from above we get:

p+3p+p-2=110

5p-2=110

5p=112

p=112/5

Which is not an integer...are we sure there is no typo in the question...

There are 3 times as many nickels as pennies

There are pennies-2 dimes

And the total is $1.10

Just checking, because something is off...
