No, I don't agree with her expression because the numbers of quarters and nickels have already been given. To calculate the amount of money that Jackie has, she needs to multiply the number of coins by the value of the coin.

The expression should have been 0.25q+0.05n with q and n being the number of quarters and nickels that she has.
