You simply do this by trial and error.
3 nickels + 1 dime + 1 quarter = 5 coins total
Value of 3 nickels: 3*5 = 15 cents
Value of 1 dime: 1*10 = 10 cents
Value of 1 quarter: 1*25 = 25 cents
Total value = 3 nickels + 1 dime + 1 quarter
Total value = 15 cents + 10 cents + 25 cents
Total value = 50 cents
So Bjon has 3 nickels, 1 dime, and 1 quarter.
