Answer:

0.01 goes in the first box

0.10 goes in the second box

Therefore, the first equation is 0.01p + 0.10d = 1.50

===========================================================

Reason:

The last part mentions "A penny is 0.01" which means $0.01 or 1 cent. The 0.01 is the coefficient of the variable p.

1 penny = $0.01

p number of pennies = 0.01p dollars

A similar situation happens with the dimes.
