Question #4770d

She has #32# quarters.

Explanation:

#58# nickels are equal to #$2.90# because

#58 xx $0.5 ("the value of the nickel") = $2.90#

Then you subtract #2.90# from #10.90#, and you know that she has #$8 left#, which is supposedly all in quarters.

#($8) / ($0.25 ("the value of the quarter")) = 32#

This means that she has #32# quarters because #$8# in quarters + #$2.90# in nickels #= $10.90#.
