Answer:

She have 40 coins in her purse

Step-by-step explanation:

1 dollar = 100 cents

14 dollar = 1400 cents

We are given that she has an equal number of each coin type

Let x be the no. of coins

Value of x coins of 5 cents = 5x

Value of x coins of 10 cents = 10x

Value of x coins of 20 cents = 20x

So, $5x+10x+20x=1400$

$35x=1400$

$x=\frac{1400}{35}$

$x=40$

Hence she have 40 coins in her purse
