~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

We can group George's coins in groups by combining each 5 quarters with 1 dime.

Every such group will worth 5*25c + 10c = 135 cents.


Now divide 6080 cents by 135 cents, and you will find the number of such groups:  = 45.037.   OOops !!

Now I am very sad, because your data is wrong.
