$H trianglelefteq K$, $K/H$ abelian, $N trianglelefteq G$, then $KN/HN$ abelian
$begingroup$
Let $G$ be a group, and $H$, $K$, $N$, subgroups of $G$. $H$ is normal in $K$, $K/H$ is abelian, and $N$ is normal in $G$.
I can show that $HN$ is normal in $KN$, but how to see that $KN/HN$ is abelian if $K/H$ is abelian?

Although it may look like overkill, I believe it is advisable to split the problem in its elementary components.
First use the second isomorphism theorem:
$$
frac{K N}{H N}
=
frac{K H N}{H N}
cong
frac{K}{K cap H N},
$$
then Dedekind's identity (this step is unnecessary, see the comment beloew):
$$
frac{K}{K cap H N}
=
frac{K}{H (K cap N)},
$$
and finally the third isomorphism theorem:
$$
frac{K}{H (K cap N)}
cong
frac{dfrac{K}{H}}{dfrac{H (K cap N)}{H}}
$$
to show that $K N/H N$ is isomorphic to a quotient group of $K / H$. The argument in the other answer then applies.

Use the hint in the comments to get a surjective homomorphism, and the fact that the homomorphic image of an abelian group is abelian: $ab=phi(g)phi(h)=phi(gh)=phi(hg)=phi(h)phi(g)=ba,,forall a,b$, where $phi(g)=a$ and $phi(h)=b$.
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
The "obvious" homomorphism is the projection given by $k + H in K/H mapsto k + HN in KN/HN$. My understanding is this is well defined because $H leq HN$? Because different elements of the coset $k + H$ all map to the same $k + HN$. But it's not clear to me why this is surjective; given $kn + HN in KN/HN$, what maps to it?

$kn_1$ and $kn_2$ differ by an element of $N$ by normality of $N$ in $G$. Hence they differ by an element of $HN$. Hence they give the same coset. So we send $k+H$ to that coset.

First use the second isomorphism theorem:

then Dedekind's identity (this step is unnecessary, see the comment beloew):

frac{K}{H (K cap N)},
$$
and finally the third isomorphism theorem:
$$
frac{K}{H (K cap N)}
cong
frac{dfrac{K}{H}}{dfrac{H (K cap N)}{H}}
$$
to show that $K N/H N$ is isomorphic to a quotient group of $K / H$. The argument in the other answer then applies.
