Conrad has collection of three types of coins: nickels, dimes ,and quarters. there are five more nickels than quarters but four times as many dimes as quarters. if the entire collection is worth $5.85, how many nickels, dimes, and quarters are there?

If there is 5 more nickels than quarters then u take your 5.85 and divide it from 5 and you get 1.17. there are 26nickels. then you take 5.85 and subtract 1.17 and get 4.68. then you take 4.68 and divide that by 2 and your get the answer of 2.34. 23dimes. and 14 quarters.

I’m pretty sure the * means multiplication. so, if you multiply 5*1, it would equal 5. they are basically are-writing 5x1 as 5*1. so they would be… 5 10152025303540455055
