Neil had 18 dimes, 6 nickels and 10 quarters saved up in his jar making a total of 460 pennies
What is an equation?
An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.
In his piggy bank, Neil has three times as many dimes as nickels and he has four more quarters than nickels. The coins total are 4.60. How many of each coin does he have.
Let x represent dimes (0.1), y represent nickels (0.5) and z represent quarter (0.25)
Hence:
0.1x + 0.05y + 0.25z = 4.6 (1)
Also:
x = 3y (2)
And:
z = y + 4 (3)
From the equations:
x = 18, y = 6, z = 10
