a coin bank contains three as many nickles as dimes and five times as many pennies as dimes.
The value of the collection is 3.00$ or 300 cents. how many dimes nickles and pennies are in the collection.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Let  the number of dimes be    d.
Then the number of nickels is 3d, and
     the number of pennies is 5d.

The "value" equation is

5d + 5*3d + 10d = 300 cents,  or

30d = 300.

Find d and then find everything else.
