Answer;

Explanation;

Firstly, we need to understand what the value of each of the coin type meant

A quarter is 25 cents

A dime is 10 cents

A penny is worth 1 cent

A nickel is worth 5 cents

Now, let us get the amount each of them had

Maria had 2 quarters(2 * 25) + 1 dime (10) + 3 pennies (3*1) = 50 + 10 + 3 = 63 cents (6 coins)

Jocelyn had 2 nickels (2 * 5) = 10 cents (2 coins)

Maria gave three coins to Jocelyn
