number of 10 centavo coins = n
the number of 25 centavo coins is four more than thrice the number of 10 centavo coins
number of 25 centavo coins = 3n+4
total of php 120.

0.10n + 0.25(3n+4) = 120
    10n + 25(3n+4) = 12000 
     10n + 75n+100 = 12000
           85n+100 = 12000
               85n = 11900   
                 n = 140 centavo coins

number of 25 centavo coins = 3n+4 = 3(140)+4 = 420+4 = 424 ten centavo coins.
