Answer:

66 coins.

Explanation:

There are 4 quarters in a year, so 2 years is 8 quarters.

Since Janice adds 5 coins every 3 months, in one year (or 4 quarters), she will add:

5 coins/3 months x 4 quarters = 20 coins

So in 2 years (8 quarters), she will add:

20 coins/year x 2 years = 40 coins

Therefore, after 2 years, the total number of coins in Janice's collection will be:

26 + 40 = 66 coins.
