The total value of the coins is 3.88. Anita has 4 more nickels than pennies and 2 more than 4 times the number of quarters than pennies. How many of which coins does she have?

See explanations below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of nickel be x

Let the amount of pennies be y

Let the amount of quarters be z

If the the total value of the coins is 3.88, then;

x+y+z = 3.88 1

If Anita has 4 more nickels than pennies, then;

x = y + 4 ... 2

If she has 2 more than 4 times the number of quarters than pennies, then;

y = 2 + 4z

4z = y-2

z = (y-2)/4 ...3

Substitute 2 and 3 into 1

y+4+y+(y-2)/4 = 3.88

4y+16+4y + y-2 = 15.52

9y + 14 = 15.52

9y = 15.52 - 14

9y = 1.52

y = 1.52/9

y = 0.17

Since x = y + 4

x = 0.17+4

x  = 4.17

z = y-2/4

z = 0.17-2/4

z = -1.83/4

z = - 0.46

tried on you are knowing that we can't leave the picture in the graph ok no problem now you need to send it in the question group
