If dollars are included (as in Canada),
$1.45=1 dollar + 5 nickels + 2 dimes
If dollars are excluded,
$1.45=5 quarters + 2 nickels + 1 dime
Try to figure out the probability from these results.

Let N=number of candies of each kind.
N=22.75/(0.35+0.30)=35
So how many candies did Bart buy?
Coming out of the grocery store, Ebree has eight coins, of which none is a half-dollar, that add up to $1.45. Unfortunately, on the way home she loses one of them. If the chances of losing a quarter, dime or nickel are equal, which coin is most probably lost?
Quarter?

70?

So is my answers wrong?
Your answer is right.
I hope you worked out the problem by yourself, in which case you would have followed the same logic where 35 is the number of candies of EACH kind.
