    So first I would say, what if all of them were dimes, how far away would it be from $14?

    So 92 coins * 10 cents = $9.20

    So it's 4.80 dollars away from 14 dollars.

    So if we were to switch one to a quarter, it would increase by 0.15 cents.

    So we want to see how many increases we need to reach 4.80 dollars more.

    4.80/0.15 = 32

    So there are 32 quarters and 60 dimes.
