Question

Mukul has $1.60 in nickels, dimes, and quarters. He has nine more dimes than quarters and six more nickels than quarters. How many of each coin are in his pocket.- I need little hint please. My answer is coming out wrong.
Ms. Sue
The best hint is for you to study the answers you've gotten for your other similar questions.

Since the number of quarters is the basis of comparison,
let the number of quarters be x
then the number of dimes = x+9
and the number of nickels = x+6

equation based on the VALUE of the coins

25x + 10(x+9) + 5(x+6) = 160

solve for x, plug back into my definitions are you are done.
