Use the grouping method.


Combine coins in groups, in a way that each group has one 1-peso and one 1-centavo coins.


According to the condition, this grouping does work.


Then each group is worth  100+25 = 125 centavo,

and the number of groups is   = 30.


So, you conclude that the collection contains 30 1-peso and 30 25-centavo coins.    ANSWER

Solved.
