Question

A charity organization is collecting change to raise money. They have collected twice as many dimes as quarters, 22 more nickels than dolors and 3 times as many pennies as nickels.

What is the equation and my variable is q
What would q equal?

Use defined variable to write algebraic expressions to represent the number of quarters dimes nickels and Pennie’s collected

Add on to question above
If they have collected a total of 2134 coins, how many of each coin have they collected?

Answer 1

Answer:

a. X Quarters.

b. 2x Dimes.

(2x+22) Nickels.

3(2x+22) Pennies.

c. X + 2x +(2x+22) + 3(2x+22)=2134.

X + 2x + 2x + 22 + 6x + 66 = 2134

11x + 88 = 2134

11x = 2046

X = 186 Quarters.

2x = 2*186 = 372 Dimes.

2x+22 = 372 + 22 = 394 Nickels.

3(2x+22) = 3 * 394 = 1182 Pennies.
