2. Tory's uncle tells her he has some coins in his pocket. Tory can have
them, if she can say exactly the amount of money in his pocket. He gives
Tory these clues. Can you help Tory? 
CLUES:

*       All the coins are nickels and dimes, but they are not all one kind
of coin. 

*       There are between 7 and 10 coins. 

*       There are more dimes than nickels. 

*       You could have the same amount of money with quarters only.
