figure out how much nickles is worth 35x0.5= 1.75
using the total 2.50
find what is left over 2.50-1.75=0.75
figure out how many quarters is equal to 75 cent 0.75divide 0.25= 3
but since it says value than 2.50 then ill be 1 quarter less
so the answer is 2 quarters which the whole amount worth $2.25
