9 rolls

step 2

Find how many rolls of nickels Darla has

Divide the number of coins by 40

319/40=7.9

7 rolls

step 3

Find how many rolls of dimes Darla has

Divide the number of coins by 50

436/50=8.72

8 rolls

step 4

Find how many rolls of quarters Darla has

divide the number of coins by 40

271/40=6.78

6 rolls
