    Answer:

    15 quarters

    11 nickels

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let q represent quarters and n represent nickels

    First, set up a system of equation:

    q+n=26

    0.25q+0.05n=4.30

    then solve the equations:

    q+n=26

    0.25q+0.05n=4.30 (multiply this equation by -4)

    q+n=26

    -q-0.2n=-17.2

    0.8n=8.8

    n=11

    So, there are 11 nickels.

    to find the amount of quarters Tripp has:

    q+11=26

    q=15.

    So Tripp has 15 quarters and 11 nickels.
