let d=number of dimesl
let n=number of nickels
let q=number of quarters
..
d+n+q=31
n+q=31-d
..
d+1=n+q
d+1=31-d
2d=30
d=15
..
n+q=d+1=16
n=16-q
..
.10d+.05n+.25q=4.70
.10(15)+.05(16-q)+.25q=4.70
1.5+.80-.05q+.25q=4.70
2.3+.20q=4.70
.20q=2.4
q=12
n=31-(d+q)=31-27=4
..
number of dimes=15
number of nickels=4
number of quarters=12
