Let the number of quarters = N.....then, the number of pennies = N + .90N  = 1.90N

 

And  the number of quarters* time their value plus the number of pennies times their value gives the total value of all the coins......so.......

 

N (25) + 1.90N (1)  = 807   simplify

 

25N + 1.90N = 807

 

26.90N = 807  divide both sides by 26.90

 

N  = 807/26.90   = 30

 

This is the number of quarters

 

And the number of pennies  = 1.90(30)  = 57
