@ guest I think you are wrong
reason:
'Dylan's dimes total $1.30 less than his quarters "
so the quarters have to be at least 6 of them
My attempt:
So we need 2x as many nickels as dimes
so
quarters | dimes | nickels | |||
6 | 2 | 4 | n | o | |
8 | 7 | 14 | n | o | |
10 | 12 | 24 | n | o | |
12 | 17 | 34 | n | o | |
14 | 22 | 44 | n | o |
16 | 27 | 54 | n | o |
18 | 32 | 64 | n | o | |
20 | 37 | 74 | n | o | |
22 | 42 | 84 | n | o |
24 | 47 | 94 | n | o | |
26 | 52 | 104 | y | e | s |
Thhis is acually a pretty bad method of doing it but if you noticed, there is a pattern
I'll let you find it
