User
When Linda's mother gave her 2 more dimes, the total number of dimes increased to 2 + 2 = 4 dimes. She also increased the total number of quarters to 6 + 10 = 16 after her mother gave her 10 more. The total number of dimes and quarters she has is 16 + 4 = 20. Linda's mother also gave her twice as many nickels as she has, a total of 2 * 5 = 10 nickels. The total number of nickels she has increased to 10 + 5 = 15. Altogether, Linda has 20 + 15 = 35 coins. The answer: 35.
