Hi,
Let x represent the number of Quarters &#8658; (35-x) represents the number of Nickels   
Question States*** total is $3.95
CENTS makes sense
 25x +  5(35-x) = 395 cents
      20x = 395- 175
      20x = 220
        x = 11, the number of Quarters. 24 Nickels

 25*11 + 5*24 = 395  Or $3.95 
Wish You the Best in your Studies.
