Let the three consecutive integers be n, n + 1 and n + 2. Then (n + 1) + (n + 2) = n/2 + 33 2n + 3 = n/2 + 33 : 4n + 6 = n + 66 : 3n = 60 : n = 20 The three numbers are 20, 21 and 22.
Nickels = 6 Dimes = 2 Quarters = 9 (1/3N) + N + (3+N) = 17 2 1/3N = 14 N = 6
Let the number of nickels, dimes and quarters be n, d, q respectively. Then n +d + q = 30 5n + 10d + 25q = 550 But d = 2n, so: n + 2n + q = 30 => 3n + q = 30 5n + 10(2n) + 25q = 550 => 25n + 25q = 550 => n + q = 22 Which gives two simultaneous equations to solve, resulting in: n = 4, q = 18 So there are 18 quarters (plus 4 nickels and 8 dimes).
Three.
5n + 25q = 490; n = 2q so: 10q + 25q = 490 ie 35q = 490 so q = 14 and n must be 28. 14 x 25c = $3.50, 28 x 5c = $1.40, total $4.90. ...and there you have it!
