Identifying Components of a Value Equation

A retail worker is using a mathematical model to reconcile a cash tray containing quarters and nickels. The worker lets qq represent the number of quarters and sets up the equation 0.25q+0.05(2q+5)=6.55{}0.25q + 0.05(2q + 5) = 6.55 to solve for the count of each coin. In this specific equation, what quantity does the entire term 0.05(2q+5){}0.05(2q + 5) represent?
