To determine who has the most money among Chelsea, James, Peter, and Denika, we need to calculate the total value of coins each person has.

Let's start with Chelsea. Chelsea has 3 quarters, which are worth 25 cents each, and 1 dime, which is worth 10 cents. So, the total value of Chelsea's coins is (3 quarters * 25 cents) + (1 dime * 10 cents) = 75 cents + 10 cents = 85 cents.

Moving on to James, he has 8 dimes, each worth 10 cents. Therefore, the total value of James' coins is 8 dimes * 10 cents = 80 cents.

Next is Peter. He has 2 quarters, worth 25 cents each, and 6 nickels, worth 5 cents each. So, the total value of Peter's coins is (2 quarters * 25 cents) + (6 nickels * 5 cents) = 50 cents + 30 cents = 80 cents.

Lastly, Denika has 10 nickels, each worth 5 cents. Thus, the total value of Denika's coins is 10 nickels * 5 cents = 50 cents.

Comparing the total values of their coins, we can see that Chelsea has the most money with 85 cents.
