Respuesta :

Answer:

  • 8 dimes
  • 5 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

If all were dimes, the total would be $1.30. It is $0.75 more than that.

Each quarter that replaces a dime adds $0.15 to the total, so there must be ...

  $0.75/$0.15 = 5

quarters.

Kevin has 8 dimes and 5 quarters in change.
