Victor has quarters, dimes and pennies in his pocket. He has three times fewer pennies than dimes and he has 4 fewer quarters than pennies. How many coins does he have total if they are worth $4.60

Respuesta :

46 coins

D=30

p=10

Q=6

30+10+6=46

The total amount of coins is 46 coins

Let x represent the number of quarters, y represent the number of dimes and z represent the number of pennies.

Each quarter is worth $0.25, each dime is worth $0.1 and each penny is worth $0.01

Since Victor has three times fewer pennies than dimes, hence:

y = 3z      

y - 3z = 0        (1)

Victor also has 4 fewer quarters than pennies, hence:

x = z - 4

x - z = -4          (2)

The total worth of the coin is $4.60, therefore:

0.25x + 0.1y + 0.01z = 4.60       (3)

Solving equations 1, 2 and 3 simultaneously gives:

x = 6, y = 30, z = 10

Total coins = 6 + 30 + 10 = 46

Therefore there are 6 quarters, 30 dimes and 10 pennies
