Answer:

The part of the expression that represents the number of quarters is;

D. 25·(3·x + 1)

Explanation:

From the question, we have;

The values of the coins Luis has = Nickels, Dimes and quarters

The expression that represents the value of all the coins in cents is given as follows;

5(x + 2) + 10·1 + 25·(3·x + 1)

The value of a nickel = 5 cents

The value of a dime = 10 cents

The value of a quarter = 25 cents

Therefore, the part of the expression representing the number of quarters Luis has, has 25 as a factor

Therefore, the part of the expression that represents the number of quarters = 25·(3·x + 1).
