----------------
Let the number of quarters be "x" ; value of these is 25x cents
# of pennies is "2x; value of these is 2x cents
# of dimes is "6x"; value of these is 10(6x) = 60x cents
---------------------------------
Comments: To finish the problem you need to know the overall value
of the coins.
