Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\mathcal{\purple{Answer}}}}}$

Let 'x' represent the number of 25-cent coins, then '3x' represents the number of 10-cent coins and '88-x-3x' represents the number of 5-cent coins

11.40 = 0.05(88-x-3x) + 0.10(3x) + 0.25(x)

solving for 'x' we have x=20

3*20 = 60

88 - x- 3*20 = 8
