(1) Let Harry have x nickels, y dimes and z quarters
x + y + z = 27 --- (1)
5x + 10y + 25z = 225, that is x + 2y + 5z = 45 --- (2)
5(2x) + 10(y/2) + 25z = 250, that is 2x + y + 5z = 50 --- (3)
(2) - (1)  y + 4z = 18  y = 18 - 4z
(3) - 2 * (2)  -3y - 5z = -40
-3(18 - 4z) - 5z = -40
7z = 14
z = 2
y = 18 - 4(2) = 10
x = 27 - y - z = 27 - 10 - 2 = 15
Harry has 15 nickels, 10 dimes and 2 quarters

(2) Let the old number be "abc". Its value is 100a + 10b + c
a + b + c = 11 --- (1)
The new number is "cba". Its value is ...
