    Set it up as an equation

    d = dimes

    n = nickles

    q = quarters

    3 times as many dimes as nickles:

    d = 3n

    4 more quaters than nickles:

    n = q - 4

    The total value of the coins are

    4.60 = 0.10*d + 0.05*n + 0.25*q

    You should be able to use these equations to solve the problem
