Answer:
$2.11
Explanation:
Let's call the number of dimes x.
The number of pennies is two times the number of dimes minus 1, so 2x - 1.
The number of quarters is three times the number of dimes minus 2, so 3x - 2.
So, we know that we have x dimes, 2x - 1 pennies, and 3x - 2 quarters
In terms of money, we can find the total by converting each coin to its value in dollar.
x dimes = x * $0.10 = $0.10x
(2x - 1) pennies = (2x - 1) * $0.01 = $0.02x - $0.01
(3x - 2) quarters = (3x - 2) * $0.25 = $0.75x - $0.50
Now we can add these three equations to find the total money.
$0.10x + $0.02x - $0.01 + $0.75x - $0.50 = $0.87x - $0.51
Given the x = 3, we can substitute it in the above equation
$0.87*3 - $0.51 = $2.11
So, the answer is $2.11
