A money collection has $3.00 worth of coins: nickels, dimes, and quarters. The ratio of nickels to dimes to quarters is 3:2:1 How many quarters are in the collection?
n + d + q = $3.00 (they provide a ratio) 3:2:1 = $3.00 (let's enter the value of each) 3(.05) + 2(.10) + 1(.25) .15 + .20 + .25 .60 = is the value of the ratio let's divide the $3.00 by the .60 to get 5 let's now multiply the value of 5 to the ratio and solve the question...
