Well 18 dimes would be $1.80, while 9 nickels would be $0.45. Add those together and you have $2.25. When you divide that by $0.25 (quarter), you get 9 quarters.
The ridges on the edges of dimes and quarters was designed to prevent both counterfeiting and 'clipping' -- the practice of shaving some of the metal off the edge, which would quickly add up, seeing as the coins were originally made of silver.

The question suggests that there are 24 coins. 13 of them are pennies, 14 are nickels, and 16 are dimes and the rest are quarters. To answer this question, One would add the number of pennies, nickels, and dimes and subtract the sum of those coins from 24. The difference of the two numbers would be the amount of quarters. However, 13+14+16=43. 24-43= -19 There can't be -19 quarters.
take away 2 dimes and add a penny
There is by all accounts a misconception. We can't take away dimes from quarters since they are various groups of money. We should compute the worth of each separately and afterward add them together. 3/4: There are a quarter in one quarter. Thus, 3 quarters would be 3 x quarter = 75 pennies. Three dimes: There are a dime in one dime. Thus, 3 dimes would be 3 x dime = 30 pennies. Adding the upsides of the quarters and dimes together, you would have 75 pennies + 30 pennies = 105 pennies.
it is because if you times it by its own worth and then add it you will get $68
Each quarter is 25, and he has X quarters. Each dime is 10, and he has 2X dimes. Each nickel is 5. He has 12 coins in total, and all of the ones that are not quarters or dimes are nickels. Since quarters and dimes have to come in sets of 3, that's 12-3X. 25X + 10(2X) + 5(12-3X) = 120 25X + 20X - 15X + 60 =120 30X + 60 = 120 30X = 60 X = 2 He has 2 quarters, 4 dimes, and 6 nickels. To double check let's add them up: (2 * 25) + (4* 10) + (6 * 5) = 120
This is a system of equations. Let d= number of dimes. q= number of quarters. d+q=1000 -> 10d + 10q = 10000 .10d+.25q=199.90-> -10d+(-25q)=-19990 Multiply each equation to get one of the variables to drop out. Add the equations. (-15q)=(-9990) q=666 1000-666=334 There are 666 quarters and 334 dimes.
Well, let's see here, friend. If we add up the value of each coin, we find that 6 quarters are worth $1.50, 3 dimes are worth $0.30, and 4 nickels are worth $0.20. When we add all those together, we get a total of $2.00. Happy little coins creating a beautiful sum for us to enjoy!
3 quarters add 3 quarters = 6
