Are you allowed to use algebraic methods? They make it a lot easier.
However, I will give you a start.
1. Let x = 1 peso coins and y = 5 peso coins
y = 5x
x + y = 205
Substitute 5x for y in second equation and solve for x. Insert that value into the first equation and solve for y. Check by inserting both values into the second equation.
