Question

A jar of coins contains dimes, pennies, nickels, and quarters. There are 32 nickels in the jar. The number of pennies is equal to the number of nickels plus the number of dimes. There are 3 quarters for every 4 nickels, and there are 2 dimes for every quarter. Which of the following is true?

Answer 1

p = d + 32
q : n : d = 3 : 4 : 6
32/4 = 8
quarters = 8 * 3 = 24
nickels = 8 * 4 = 32
dimes = 8 * 6 = 48
pennies = 48 + 32 = 80
