Sagot :
We know,
1 penny=1cent.
1 nickel=5 cent.
1 dime=10 cent
1 quarter=25 cent.
1 dollar=100 cent
Given,
There are 143 more dimes than quarters, 3 times as many nickels as quarters
and 8 more than 25 times as many pennies as quarters
Let Q be the number of quarters. So, the number of dimes is,
D=143+Q.
The number of nickels is,
N=3Q.
The number of pennies is,
P=8+25Q.
Let p, n, d, q, t represent respectively the value of penny, nickel, dime, quarter in cents.
Given, the total amount is T=$35.38.
The total amount in cents can be found as,
[tex]\begin{gathered} T=35.38\times100\text{ cents} \\ =3538\text{ cents} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the total amount in cents can be expressed as,
[tex]T=Dd+Nn+Pp+Qq[/tex]Now put the values in the expression.
[tex]\begin{gathered} 3538\text{ cents=}(143+Q)\times10cent+3Q\times5cent+(8+25Q)\times1\text{ cent+Q}\times25\text{cent} \\ 3538=143\times10+10Q+15Q+8+25Q_{}+25Q \\ 3538=1430+75Q+8 \\ 3538=1438+75Q \\ 3538-1438=75Q \\ 2100=75Q \\ \frac{2100}{75}=Q \\ 28=Q \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, the number of dimes can be calculated as,
[tex]D=143+Q=143+28=171[/tex]The number of nickels can be calculated as,
[tex]N=3\times Q=84[/tex]The number of pennies can be calculated as,
[tex]P=8+25Q=8+25\times28=708[/tex]Therefore, there are 28 quarters, 171 dimes, 84 nickels and 708 p
