This math topic focuses on using algebra to solve problems involving the relationships and total values of different types of coins. The problems require forming equations based on given ratios of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters to find their total monetary values in cents. Each scenario varies slightly by the types and relationships of coins, and asks to set up the correct algebraic equations to determine the exact amount of each coin type based on the total value and the ratios provided between the coins. Skills practiced include problem-solving, understanding ratios, and basic algebraic manipulation.
