Question

You have 17 coins in pennies, nickels, and dimes in your pocket. The value of the coins is $0.47. There are four times the number of pennies as nickels. How many of each type of coin do you have? Set up the system and solve.

Answer 1

Let p represent the number of pennies, n the number of nickels, and d the number of dimes.

p + n + d = 17
4p = n
0.01p + 0.05n + 0.10d = 0.47

Answer 2

Okay. I have that figured out already
