Answer:

Yes, the parking meter can collect a total of $24.05 by accepting only dimes and quarters.

Note that,

$A\:dime=\$0.10\\A\:quarter=\$0.25$

Thinking for possibilities, lets check eight dimes plus ninety-three quarters.

$8(\$0.10)+93(\$0.25)=\$24.05\\\$0.80+\$23.25=\$24.05\\\\\boxed{\$24.05\\=\$24.05}\:\:\:\checkmark$
