Answer:

12 dimes and 4 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

If a quarter is 25 cents and a dime is 10 cents then:

There are at least 8 dimes, so we have at least 80 cents

And we know there is only 8 more dimes than quarters so the ratio 12 dimes: 4 quarters tells us that this expression is correct
