Answer 2

5 nickles, 5 dimes and 5 quarters.

Explanation:

Nickels = 0.05, Dimes = 0.10, Quarters = 0.25

Monique has $2.00 in change of equal number of coins in her purse.

Let the number of coins be 'c'. Now the equation will be

(0.05c) + (0.10c) + (0.25c) = $2.00

(0.05c + 0.10c + 0.25c) = 2.00

0.40c = 2.00

c = 5

Number of each coins would be 5 in her purse.
