    We call the number of each kind of coins: a

    We have the total money is a + 5a + 10a = 16a

    We have an equation 16a = $1.28 or 16a=128

    and we have a = 8

    And there are 8x3=24 coins

    A = amount

    .01a +.05a +.1a = 1.28

    Combine like terms.

    .16a = 1.28

    Divide both sides by. 16.

    a = 8

    8 * 3 = 24

    There are 24 coins in the wallet.
