Answer:

9 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question

Jesse has $3.40 in quarters and nickels

Quarters = q = number of quarters

1 quarter = $0.25

nickels = n = number of nickels

1 nickel = $0.05

Hence,

0.25q + 0.05n = $3.40 .......Equation 1

The number of nickels is 5 more than 2 times the number of quarters.

n = 2q + 5

0.25q + 0.05n = $3.40 .......Equation 1

0.25q + 0.05(2q + 5) = 3.40

0.25q + 0.10q + 0.25= 3.40

0.35q = 3.40 - 0.25

0.35q = 3.15

q = 3.15/0.35

q = 9

Therefore, Jessie has 9 quarters.
