Answer:

  • 25 quarters
  • 50 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 2 nickels for every quarter, we can group the coins into groups consisting of 1 quarter and 2 nickels. Such a group will be worth 35 cents. So, the number of groups in $8.75 is ...

  $8.75/$0.35 = 25

25 groups of coins will have ...

  25 quarters

  50 nickels
