35100 =
720The number of 20-cent coins and $1 coins is the same.
Number of 5-cent coins
= 20 u - 7 u - 7 u
= 6 u
$1 = 100¢
$11 x 100 = 11 x 100 = 1100¢
Number of more 20-cent coins than 5-cent coins
= 140 u - 30 u
= 110 u
110 u = 1100
1 u = 1100 ÷ 110 = 10
Total number of coins that Nick had
= 6 u + 7 u + 7 u
= 20 u
= 20 x 10
= 200
Answer(s): 200
