To calculate how many cents Alice has, we will determine the total value of her quarters and nickels.

  1. Value of the quarters:

    • Alice has 5 quarters.
    • Each quarter is worth 25 cents.
    • Therefore, the total value of the quarters is: \[ 5 \times 25 = 125 \text{ cents} \]
  2. Value of the nickels:

    • Alice has 2 nickels.
    • Each nickel is worth 5 cents.
    • Therefore, the total value of the nickels is: \[ 2 \times 5 = 10 \text{ cents} \]
  3. Total value:

    • Now, we add the value of the quarters and the value of the nickels: \[ 125 + 10 = 135 \text{ cents} \]

Thus, the total amount of money Alice has is 135 cents.

The answer is: 135¢.
