n=3p and d=p-2  we are also told that:

p+n+d=110 using n and d from above we get:

p+3p+p-2=110

5p-2=110

5p=112

p=112/5

Which is not an integer...are we sure there is no typo in the question...

There are 3 times as many nickels as pennies

There are pennies-2 dimes 

And the total is $1.10

Just checking, because something is off...
