Saturday's Tease.....

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?

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?
