2 pennies = 2*1=2 Cents
1 dime = 1*10=10 Cents
2 nickels = 2*5=10 Cents
Total = 2+10+10=22

1 quarter = 1*25=25 Cents

Answer=22/25
IMO E

On the GMAT, it is not assumed you know what a nickel or dime is - the only conversions you need to know for the test are those of units of time. So this is not the type of question you'll encounter on test day.

Thank you for clarifying Ian .. my native language is not English, so I didn't know what a nickle was.
