Answer:

She has 36 10¢ pieces

Explanation:

You can multiply 28 and 5 to see how much money she has in nickels.

28x5 is 140.

Now you can subtract the total amount (500) from that value:

500-140=360

now divide 360 by 10 because we are trying to find how much

10¢ coins she has

You will get your final answer as:

36 10¢ coins
