Let she has "x" number of quaters and "y" be number of nickels .

According to question,

y = 3+ x ---(1)

Combined value of all is 225 cents .

i.e 25 × x + y× 5 = 225 cents

plug the value of y from equation (1) to equation(2) we get,

25 x + 5(3+x) = 225

solve the equation

=> 25x + 15 + 5x = 225

=> 30x = 210

=> x = 7

put the value of x in equation (1)

y = x + 3 = 10

Hence, the number of nickels coins is 10 and numbers of quaters are 7.
