Let's solve this step-by-step:
1. We know that the value of two coins is 35 cents.
2. Let's assume one of the coins is a quarter, which is worth 25 cents. In this case, the other coin would have to be worth 10 cents for the total value to be 35 cents. However, we are given that one of the coins is not a quarter, so this assumption is incorrect.
3. Now, let's assume that one of the coins is a dime, which is worth 10 cents. In this case, the other coin would have to be worth 25 cents for the total value to be 35 cents. Since one of the coins cannot be a quarter, we can conclude that the other coin is a nickel.
4. Therefore, the two coins are a dime (10 cents) and a nickel (5 cents).
So, the two coins are a dime and a nickel.
To find the answer, we need to determine what two coins can have a combined value of 35 cents, with one of them not being a quarter.
Let's start by listing the possible combinations that could equal 35 cents:
1. Penny (1 cent) + Nickel (5 cents) = 6 cents
2. Nickel (5 cents) + Dime (10 cents) = 15 cents
3. Nickel (5 cents) + Quarter (25 cents) = 30 cents
4. Dime (10 cents) + Quarter (25 cents) = 35 cents
5. Penny (1 cent) + Dime (10 cents) + Quarter (25 cents) = 36 cents
Since we are looking for a combination where one of the coins is not a quarter, we can eliminate options 3 and 4. Additionally, option 5 exceeds the desired total.
Thus, the only remaining option is option 2: Nickel (5 cents) + Dime (10 cents) = 15 cents.
Therefore, the two coins that add up to 35 cents, with one of them not being a quarter, are a nickel and a dime.
