The Empress Helena Constantia had 20 gold coins. She had to pay the four legions of her Praetorian Guard, so Helena put the the coins in four separate piles.
The first pile had four more coins than the second.
The second pile had one less coin than the third.
The fourth pile had twice as many coins as the second.
How many gold coins did Helena put in each pile?
Your first pile has 8 coins the second pile has 3 coins the 3 pile has 4 coins the 4 pile has has 6 so 4+6+4+3+3=20
