Let number of dimes be x
pennies will be x+150
Value
convert $ to cents
10x+1(x+150)=6750
10x+x+150=6750
11x=6750-150
11x=6600
/11
x=6600/11
x=600 dimes
600+150=750 pennies
...
let nickels be x
dimes will be 34-x
total value =2.70 = 270 cents
5x+10(34-x)=270
5x+340-10x=270
-5x=-70
x=14 nickels
dimes = 14
