Answer:

To solve the problem, we need to first determine the value of the quarters Anna has. Since there are 5 quarters, we have:

5 quarters = 5 x $0.25 = $1.25

Thus, Anna has $2.00 - $1.25 = $0.75 left. We can find the maximum number of dimes she can have by dividing this amount by the value of a dime, which is $0.10. Therefore:

$0.75 ÷ $0.10 = 7.5

Since Anna cannot have a fraction of a dime, we round down to the nearest whole number to get a maximum of 7 dimes. Therefore, the answer is option B, 5.
