Answer:

The answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

you know that x is quarters which is .25 and you know that y is nickels which is .05

there are a total of 13 coins in the bank so x+y = 13

you also know that the 13 coins = 3.55

so plug in all that you know and the problem is

0.25x + 0.05y = 3.55
