    Let the number of coins = X

    A nickel is 0.05

    A dime is 0.10

    A quarter is 0.25

    Set up an equation to add all the coins together to equal the total she has:

    0.05x + 0.10x + 0.25x = 2.00

    Simplify:

    0.40x = 2.00

    Divide both sides by 0.40

    x = 2.00 / 0.40

    x = 5

    Check:

    Nickels = 0.50 x 5 = 0.25

    Dimes = 0.10 x 5 = 0.50

    Quarters = 0.25 x 5 = 1.25

    0.25 + 0.50 + 1.25 = 2.00

    She has 5 of each coin.
