Answer:
Explanation:
let amount of nickels = y
then amount of quarters = 12-y
let amount of dimes = 2y
according to given condition,
Total amount = y+12-y+2y
we will +y and -y because of different signs,(+,- = -).
10.60 = 12+2y
12-10.60 = 2y
2.60=2y
using / as division sign,
y=2.60/2
y = 1.30
amount of quarters = 1.30
amount of nickels = 12-y
= 12-1.30
= 10.70
amount of dimes = 2y
=2(1.30)
=2.60
