You can use systems of equations for this one.
We are going to use 'q' as the number of quarters Rafael had,
and 'n' as the number of nickels Rafael had.
You can write the first equation like this:
3.50=0.05n+0.25q
This says that however many 5 cent nickels he had, and however many
25 cent quarters he had, all added up to value $3.50.
Our second equation is this:
q=n+8
This says that Rafael had 8 more nickels that he had quarters.
We can now use substitution to solve our system.
We can rewrite our first equation from:
3.50=0.05n+0.25q
to:
3.50=0.05n+0.25(n+8)
From here, simply solve using PEMDAS.
3.50=0.05n+0.25(n+8) --Distribute 0.25 to the n and the 8
3.50=0.05n+0.25n+2 --Subtract 2 from both sides
1.50=0.05n+0.25n --Combine like terms
1.50=0.30n --Divide both sides by 0.30
5=n --This is how many NICKELS Rafael has.
We now know how many nickels he has, but the question is asking us
how many quarters he has.
Simply substitute our now-known value of n into either of our previous
equations (3.50=0.05n+0.25q or q=n+8) and solve.
We now know that Rafael had 13 quarters.
To check, just substitute our known values for our variables and solve.
If both sides of our equations are equal, then you know that you have
yourself a correct answer.
Happy math-ing :)

Options were not present in the question we are Stating below;
Rashida owns a bike rental company. She charges an initial fee of $10 for each rental and an hourly rate of $4. A customer paid $34 for a bike rental. Which of the equations below could be used to find how many hours, x, the customer rented the bike?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Amount customer paid = $34
Initial fee = $10
Hourly rate = $4
We need to write the equation used to find how many hours, x, the customer rented the bike.
Solution:
Let the number of hours customer rented the bike be 'x'.
Now we can say that;
Amount customer paid is equal to sum of Initial fee plus Hourly rate multiplied by number of hours customer rented the bike.
framing in equation form we get;
Hence The equation used to find number of hours customer rented the bike is .
