3 more quarters than nickels
17 coins in all

Q= D= N=

I have to find how many of each



Answer :

So tommy has 1/3 dimes as nickels so you need to guess and cheak a d then you go to the  method they gave you and you get 2 dimes 6 nickels and 9 quarters
Nickels = 6
Dimes = 2
Quarters = 9

(1/3N) + N + (3+N) = 17
2 1/3N = 14
N = 6
