Question 1113005
<br>
Since the numbers of nickels and quarters is the same and the number of dimes is 3 times as much, you can separate the coins into "mini-collections" each consisting of 1 nickel, 1 quarter, and 3 dimes.<br>
The value of each of those mini-collections is 5+25+30 = 60 cents.<br>
Since the total value of the coins is $9.60 (960 cents), the number of mini-collections you could make is 960/60 = 16.<br>
Then since each of the mini-collections contains 1 nickel, 1 quarter, and 3 dimes, the answer to the problem is
16 nickels
16 quarters
3*16=48 dimes
