Answer:

25 quarters
50 nickels

Explanation:

Since there are 2 nickels for every quarter, we can group the coins into groups consisting of 1 quarter and 2 nickels. Such a group will be worth 35 cents. So, the number of groups in $8.75 is ...

$8.75/$0.35 = 25

25 groups of coins will have ...

25 quarters

50 nickels
