A roll of quarters contains $40$ quarters and a roll of dimes contains $50$ dimes. James has a jar that contains $83$ quarters and $159$ dimes. Lindsay has a jar that contains $129$ quarters and $266$ dimes. James and Lindsay pool these quarters and dimes and make complete rolls with as many of the coins as possible. In dollars, how much are the leftover quarters and dimes worth?

83 plus 129 = 212

212/40 = 5.3

159 plus 266 = 425

425/50 = 8.5

Quarters: 36

Dimes: 25
