you have 183 coins in nickels dimes and quarters with a combined value of $15.75 .you have three times as many buckles as dimes.find the number of each type of coin .

Answer 1

Let n = the number of nickles you have

Let d = the number of dimes you have

Let q = the number of quarters you have

You have 183 coins so n+d + q = 183

You have 3 times as many nickels as dimes so n = 3d

The total in coins is $15.75 = 1575 cents so 5n + 10d + 25q = 1575

You have three equations with three unknowns. Now solve this.
