Can you please help us with this problem: Emily's piggy bank contains twice as many dimes as nickels. It contains two more quarters than nickels. Emily calculates that if instead of the money she actually has, she has as many quarters as she has nickels, as many dimes as she has quarters, and as many nickels as she has dimes, then she would have $1, 50 less than she actually has. How many nickels, how many dimes, and how many quarters are actually in Emily's piggy bank ?
