    Quarters: 7

    Dimes: 9

    Nickels: 14

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Bank - -> 30 coins

    Base Equations:

    N+D+Q=30

    5N+10D+25Q=335

    Equation 1: 2Q=N

    Equation 2: D=30 - (N+Q)

    Substitute Equation1 : D=30 - (2Q+Q)

    D=30-3Q

    0.05 (2Q) + 0.10 (30-3Q) + 0.25Q=3.35

    0.10Q+3-0.3Q+0.25Q=3.35

    0.5Q+3=3.35

    0.5Q=0.35

    Q=7

    if Q=7, N = 2*Q

    N=14

    D=9

    Check Step:

    7*25=175

    14*5=70

    9*10=90

    175+70+90=335
