You can put this solution on YOUR website!
n nickels, d dimes, q quarters

system%283=q%2Fd%2Cn=d%2B85%2C5n%2B10d%2B25q=11225%29

Do you need help to solve that system? Notice that the first two equations contain the variable d and they can be used for substitution into the cents count equation; but you should simplify the cents count equation FIRST.
