Given data:

The total amount Tom has A=$5.05.

The numbers of quaters are 25.

the mmubers of dimes are 10.

The total numbers of coins are n=28.

The expression for the total amount is,


0.25q+0.10d=5.05

The expression for the total numbers of coin are,


q+d=28

Thus, the second option is corrrect.
