Answer: Option 'B' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of 10 cents pcs be 'x'.

Let the number of 25 cents pcs be 'y'.

Since we have given that

Total number of coins = 32

Sum of money = $5.15

As we know that

$1 = 100 cents

$5.15 = 5.15×100 = 515 cents

According to question, we get that

[tex]x+y=32-----------(1)\\\\10x+25y=\$515------------(2)[/tex]

Using the graphing method, we get that

x = 19

y = 13

So, there are 13 pcs of 25 cents.

Hence, Option 'B' is correct.
