Answer:
6 quarters and 2 pennies
Explanation:
Let Q be the number of quarters that Bella has.
Let P be the number of pennies that Bella has.
We know that Bella has a total of 8 coins, so we can write:
Q + P = 8
We also know that Bella has a total of $1.52 in quarters and pennies. Since there are 100 pennies in a dollar, we can convert $1.52 to 152 pennies. We can then write another equation based on the value of the coins:
25Q + P = 152
Now we have two equations with two variables. We can solve for Q or P in terms of the other variable and substitute that expression into one of the equations to solve for the other variable. For example, we can solve the first equation for P:
P = 8 - Q
We can then substitute this expression for P into the second equation and simplify:
25Q + (8 - Q) = 152
24Q = 144
Q = 6
So Bella has 6 quarters. We can substitute this value for Q into the first equation and solve for P:
Q + P = 8
6 + P = 8
P = 2
So Bella has 2 pennies.
Therefore, Bella has 6 quarters and 2 pennies, for a total of 2 kinds of coins.
