Answer:

Nickels=29

Dime=30

Pennies=35

Step-by-step explanation:

Nickels=$0.05

Dime=$0.10

Pennies=$0.01

Total value=$4.80

Let quantity of

Pennies=p

Nickels=n

Dimes=d

d=n+1

p=n+6

0.01 *[n + 6] + 0.05n + 0.10*[n+1] =4.80

Open parenthesis

0.01n+0.06+0.05n+0.10n+0.10=4.80

0.16n+0.16=4.80

0.16n=4.80-016

0.16n=4.64

n=29

Pennies=n+6

=29+6

=35

Dime=n+1

=29+1

=30
