X Qtrs., 2x Dimes, 2x+4 Nickels, 2(2x+4) Pennies.
25x + 10*2x + 5(2x+4) + 2(2x+4) = 913 Cents, 25x + 20x + 10x+20 + 4x+8 = 913, 59x = 913-28 = 885, X = 15 Qtrs., 30 Dimes, 34 Nickels, 68 Pennies.
25x + 10*2x + 5(2x+4) + 2(2x+4) = 913 Cents, 25x + 20x + 10x+20 + 4x+8 = 913, 59x = 913-28 = 885, X = 15 Qtrs., 30 Dimes, 34 Nickels, 68 Pennies.
