Quantity B |

The number of nickels in the collection |
1 Quarter = 25c
1 Dime = 10c
1 Nickel = 5c
Given; Q + D + N = 58 and 25Q + 10D + 5N = 500c
Note, In order to find 3 variables we must have 3 equations!
Since, we have 3 variables here but 2 equations, we cannot find the value of 3rd variable
Hence, option D
