Answer:

Joseph has started saving quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies

We know that $1 = 100 cents

So, $3.50 = 350 cents

We also know that :

1 quarter = 25 cents

1 dime = 10 cents

1 nickle = 5 cents

1 penny = 1 cent

Hence, the total greatest amount of money Joseph could have in coins is:

4 pennies or 4 cents plus 340 cents in any combination of quarters, dimes and nickles, making a total of 354 cents.
