Answer:

Emily has 10 nickels, 20 dimes and 12 quarters in her piggy bank

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of dimes in Emily's piggy bank = 2 × The number of nickels

The number of quarters in it = 2 + The number of nickels

Whereby;

The number of quarters = The number nickels

The number of dimes = The number of quarters

The number of nickels = The number of dimes

The total amount = Current amount - $150

Let 'x' represent the number of dimes, let 'y' represent the number nickels, and let 'z' represent the number quarters in Emily's piggy bank, we have;

x = 2 × y

z = 2 + y

The total amount in the piggy bank is therefore;

Total = C = x×0.1  + y×0.05 + z×0.25 = 2·y×0.1 + y × 0.05 + (2 + y) × 0.25 = 0.5·y + 0.5

C = 0.5·y + 0.5

With the second condition, we have;

z = y

x = z

y = x

We get

x × 0.1 + y × 0.05 + z × 0.25 = y ×0.1 + y×0.05 + y×0.25 = 0.4·y = C - 1.5

∴ C = 0.4·y + 1.5

Which gives;

0.5·y + 0.5 = 0.4·y + 1.5

0.1·y = 1.5 - 0.5 = 1

y = 1/0.1 = 10

y = 10

Therefore;

x = 2×y = 2 × 10 = 20

z = 2 + y = 2 + 10 = 12

Therefore;

The number number of nickels in her piggy bank, y = 10

The number of dimes in her piggy bank, x = 20

The number of quarters in her piggy bank, z = 12

ad-work [718]
Let Xavier's favourite fraction be a/b, Yessie's favourite fraction = b/a and Zorro's favourite fraction = c/d,

c/d x a/b = 12/35 . . . . . . . . (1)
c/d x b/a = 15/7 . . . . . . . . (2)

(1) x (2) = c/d x a/b x c/d x b/a = 12/35 x 15/7
 c^2 / d^2 = 36/49
c^2 = 36
c = 6
d^2 = 49
d = 7

Xaviers favourite fraction = 12/35 / 6/7 = 2/5
Yessies favourite fraction = 5/2
Zorro favourite fraction = 6/7
