Answer 2

"There are a total of 36 coins in the jar" -- third option

Explanation:

• The first equation tells us that the "number of quarters is equal tot he sum of number of dimes and nickels"
• The second equation tells us that the " total value of all the coins is $6.05"
• The third equation tells us that the "total number of coins is 36".

First answer choice is wrong (look at meaning of first equation)

Second answer choice is also wrong (look at meaning of second equation)

Third answer choice is correct as it matches the third equation.

Fourth answer choice is wrong since nowhere is says that.
