Answer:

18 Nickels, 6 Quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, let's build a system of equations to find the number of nickels and dimes you have.  Let N represent the number of nickels and Q represent the number of quarters you have.

The first equation, you have 3 times as many nickels as quarters:

N = 3Q

The second equation, you have a total of $2.40.  Given we know nickels are $0.05 and quarters are $0.25:

0.05N + 0.25Q = 2.40

Now, let's use the two equations to find the number nickels and quarters you have.

N = 3Q

0.05N + 0.25Q = 2.40

0.05(3Q) + 0.25Q = 2.40

0.15Q + 0.25Q = 2.40

0.4Q = 2.40

Q = 6

Now, let's plug the value back into the equation:

N = 3Q

N = 3(6)

N = 18

And we can verify these values with the second equation:

0.05N + 0.25Q = 2.40

0.05(18) + 0.25(6) ?= 2.40

0.90 + 1.50 ?= 2.40

2.40 == 2.40

Therefore, we have found and verified the amount of Nickels and Quarters you have.

Cheers.
