We are given
piggy bank has nickels , dimes and quarters
Let's assume
number of nickels =n
every two nickels there are 3 dimes
so, number of dimes are


every two dimes that are 5 quarters there
so, number of quarters are


so, total number of coins = number of nickels + number of dimes +number of quarters
total number of coins =n+1.5n+3.75
there are 500 coins
so, we get

now, we can solve for n

divide both sides by 6.25
so, we get

number of dimes is 1.5n


number of quarters is 3.75n


so,
Number of nickels =80
Number of dimes =120
Number of quarters =300............Answer
