    Well, I know of a family that is very big. For the party they would rent a hall and even have a mechitza. I’m referring to a party hosted by a grand-father or you can say great-grand-father, age 98. He even has great grandchildren in the teens.

    Let x=number of nickels

    Then x+4=number of quarters

    So the number of dimes would be:

    37-x-(x+4)=

    37-2x-4=

    33-2x —- is the number of dimes

    (lets deal in pennies)

    5x+25(x+4)+10(33-2x)=550

    so 5x+25x+100+330-20x=550

    collect like terms

    10x+430=550

    subtract 430 from each side

    10x+430-430=550-430=

    10x=120

    divide each side by 10

    x=12

    number of nickels

    x+4=12+4=16

    number of quarters

    33-2x=33-24=9

    number of dimes

    Check

    5*12=60

    25*16=400

    9*10=90

    60+400+90=550

    550=550
