(3 * 15) / 4 = 45/4 = 11....remainder 1....each grandkid gets 11 cards...equaling 44 cards....leaving 1 left for Mr. Dawson
and the total is 307.222222
If all were dimes, the value would be $3.30. Brendan has $2.85 more than that. Each quarter that replaces a dime increases the value by $0.15, so Brendan must have $2.85/$0.15 = 19 quarters.
Brendan has 14 dimes and 19 quarters.
