Answer:
36 quarters  48 dimes  64 nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
quarter = q
dime = q+12
nickel = 2q-8
$17 = 1,700 cents
(q)25 + (q+12)10 + (2q-8)5 = 1,700
25q +10q+120 Â +10q-40 =1,700
45q+80 = 1,700
45q = 1620
q= 36 Â Â Â
 36   QUARTERS x25 =  900cents
 48 DIMES   x10    =     480 cents
 64 NICKELS x 5 =       320 cents
 TOTAL                1,700 cents ($17)
