A student counting his change arranges 30 pennies in a line. He then replaces every second penny with a nickel. He continues by replacing every thrid coin with a dime, every fourth coin with a quarter, every fifth with a half dollar,  and every sixth coin with a dollar. What is the total value of the money in the line when he is finished? Can anybody show me how to work this in detail?
Thanks
