A jar contains only pennies, nickels, and dimes. The number of dimes is one more than the
number of nickels, and the number of pennies is six more than the number of nickels.
How many of each denomination can be found in the jar if the total value is $4.80?

Both conditions are referenced in terms of nickels, so

let the number of nickels be x
number of dimes = x+1
number of pennies = x+6

Value equation:

5x + 10(x+1) + x+6 = 480
