To find the difference between the amount of money Jill and Mark have, we first need to calculate the total amount of money each person has:

Jill:
4 * $1 + 3 * $0.25 + 4 * $0.10 + 3 * $0.01 = $4 + $0.75 + $0.40 + $0.03 = $5.18

Mark:
3 * $1 + 4 * $0.10 + 2 * $0.01 = $3 + $0.40 + $0.02 = $3.42

Now, we subtract the amount Mark has from the amount Jill has:

$5.18 - $3.42 = $1.76

So, the correct answer is B) $1.76.
