Answers
Nickels (0.05): Q + 6
Dimes (0.10): Q + 8
Quarters (0.25): Q
Nickels + Dimes + Quarters = Total
0.05(Q + 6) + 0.10(Q + 8) + 0.25(Q) = 4.70
0.05Q + 0.30 + 0.10Q + 0.80 + 0.25Q = 4.70
0.40Q + 1.10 = 4.70
0.40Q = 3.60
Q = 9
Nickels (0.05): Q + 6 = (9) + 6 = 15
Dimes (0.10): Q + 8 = (9) + 8 = 17
Answer: Nickels = 15, Dimes = 17, Quarters
Given that :-
___________________
Total Dollars Vina has is $4.70
There are some quantity in form of Dimes, Nickles and Quarters as well.
We need to find the number of coins there.
So, here we go with the basic concept that the value of Quarter is 0.25, Nickles is 0.05 and Dimes is 0.10
Let the number of Quarters be x.
So, Dimes will be 8 + x.
And nickles 6 + x.
Now, forming the equation:-
0.10(8+x) + 0.05(6+x) + 0.25(x) = 4.70
0.8 + 0.10x + 0.3 + 0.05x + 0.25x = 4.70
1.1 + 0.4x = 4.7
0.4x = 3.6
______________________
[x = 9 coins. Quarters]
[So, 6+x = 6+9 = 15 coins Nickles]
[8+x = 8+9 = 17 coins Dines]
