Question to Answer:

How many each type of Coin does she have?

Solution:

Lets get rid of .25 in $2.25 :)

So that 1 Quarter..

2.00

Takes away 1.00 = 10 Dimes

Now we have 1 Quarter and 10 Dimes.

1.00 Left..

4 Quarter = 1.00

So now we have 5 Quarter and 10 Dimes..

Check Work:

5 Quarter = 1.25 and 10 Dimes = 1.00

1.25+1.00=

$2.25

Hence. Loria has 5 Quarter and 10 Dimes.

{ Couldn't figure out 18 Coins worth a total of $2.25 the closest I could get was 15 Coins worth a total of $2.25}
