x+y=41
0.05x + 0.25y = 5.45

Do Elimination: 

x+y = 41
4(0.05x+0.25y = 5.45) --> 0.2x+y=21.8

Subtract the like values which is y.:

0.2x-x = 41-21.8
-0.8x = 19.2

Solve for x= 24

Plug x back into original question:

x + y = 41
24+y = 41
y=17

x=24 nickels
y=17 quarters

Check:
25(0.05) +7(0.25) = $5.45
