Nickels: 22

Dimes: 24

Quarters: 27

2 more dimes than nickels, we already know that there are 22 nickles so...

Dimes= 24

3 less dimes that quarters ^(we already know how many dimes).

All we have to do is add 3 to the amount of dimes!

Quarters 27

Now to find the amount of money you have to find out what each coin equals and multiply the number of coins by the cost of each coin, and then by 100 because there are 100 cents in 1 dollar.

22 nickels*5/100= $1.10

24 dimes*10/100= $2.40

27 quarters*25/100= $6.75

1.10+2.40+6.75= $10.25

The amount of money he has in $10.25
