    49 Quarters and 49 Dimes

    Step-by-step explanation:

    So there is $17.15 in the machine. Let's start by establishing how many of each coin adds up to about $17.15.

    Quarters (worth $0.25) : 68.6

    Dimes (worth $0.10) : 171.5

    The secret is mostly just trial and error.

    So we can start by using 49 Quarters which gets us to $12.25. Let's also add 49 Dimes which gets us to $17.15.
