There are 4 quarters in dollars. Keep that in mind.
Since Taylor is spending no more than 17 dollars, she probably only has 17 dollars. We already know that she has 8 dollars in bills, so we can subtract 8 dollars from 17 dollars because we need to find the amount of dollars in quarters.
The answer for that is 9 dollars. Since there are 4 quarters in the dollars, you need to multiply 9 by 4 to find the amount of quarters.
