Given, Bodhi has a collection of 175 dimes and nickel. If she has n numbers of nickel. Then,

The number of dimes coin= 175-n.

The collection is worth $13.30.

1 nickel is worth five cents. So, n nickel will worth 0.05n.

Similarly 1 dime is worth 10 cents. So, 175-n dimes will worth 0.1(175-n).

Since the total worth is $13.30. So, we can set the equation as follows:

0.1(175-n)+0.05n=13.13.

Hence, the last option is the correct choice.
