Answer: he has 32 quarters and 17 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

The worth of a quarter is 25 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes

25/100 = $0.25

The worth of a nickel is 5 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes

5/100 = $0.05

Let x represent the number of quarters that he has in her wallet.

Let y represent the number of nickels that she has in her wallet.

He has 49 coins total. This means that

x + y = 49

the total value of the coins is $8.85. This means that

0.25x + 0.05y = 8.85 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 49 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.25(49 - y) + 0.05y = 8.85

12.25 - 0.25y + 0.05y = 8.85

- 0.25y + 0.05y = 8.85 - 12.25

0.2y = 3.4

y = 3.4/0.2

y = 17

x = 49 - y = 49 - 17

x = 32
