Answer
9 pennies
9 nickels
9 dimes
Work Step by Step
A penny is one cent ($\$0.01$), a nickel is 5 cents ($\$0.05$), and a dime is 10 cents ($\$0.10$).
Let
$x$=number of pennies
$x$=number of nickels
$x$=number of dimes
The total value of the coins is $\$1.44$. Thus,
$0.01(x) + 0.05x + 0.10x = 1.44
\\0.16x = 1.44
\\x = \frac{1.44}{0.16}
\\x=9$
Therefore there are 9 pieces of each type of coin.
