After your guests leave and you are cleaning up, you find an equal number of dimes, quarters and nickels under the sofa cushions totaling $8. How many of each coin do you have?
I couldn't have said it better myself!! Right on the money and a great explanation too! You get the Grand Prize Mike; The Turkey Neck on Thanksgiving!!! Congrats!!!

quarter + nickle + dime = $8.00
25X + 10X + 5X = 800
5(5X + 2X + X) = 160
5 (8X = 160)
5 (X=20)
-----------------
25(20)+10(20)+5(5) = 160
160 = 160
Or in laymans terms 20 of each coin = $8.00.
Did I pass?
