If
represents the months, then:
Let:

So:
For:


Therefore:

So, look:
36*4 = 144
There are 145 quarters in all.
And in nickels, there are:
144 * 5 = 720 + 5 = 725
There are 725 nickels in all.
Dimes: 144 * 10 = 1440 + 10 = 1450 (or you could do 145 * 10 and still get 1450. Like I did in the nickels and everything. :) )
= 1450 dimes
I hope this helps!
