Kim has $1.65 in nickels, dimes and quarters. she has 10 coins all together and the number of quarters is equal to the number of nickels and dimes combined. haw many of each coin does she have? 3 nickels, 2 dimes, 5 quarters 3 nickels, 2 dimes, 2 quarters 2 nickels, 3 dimes, 5 quarters 3 nickels, 5 dimes, 2 quarters

We know it cannot be the second option because there are only 7 coins and Kim has 10. It also cannot be the first option because the coins add up to $1.60, and Kim has $1.65. It could not be the last option either because the coins add up to $1.15, and Kim has $1.65.

Third option

Why? The third option has a total of $1.65, which is what Kim has. There are 10 coins all together, which is also what Kim has. And the number of nickels and dimes combined (5) is equal to the number of quarters (5).
