Problem
Leah has coins, all of which are pennies and nickels. If she had one more nickel than she has now, then she would have the same number of pennies and nickels. In cents, how much are Leah's coins worth?
Solution
If Leah has more nickel, she has
total coins. Because she has the same number of nickels and pennies, she has
nickels and
pennies. This is after the nickel has been added, so we must subtract
nickel to get
nickels and
pennies. Therefore, Leah has
cents.
