The only correct choice is (a) There is no way to have 15 cents with 4 coins. You obviously can't use pennies or quarters. If you use a dime, you'd have to have the remaining 5 cents with 3 coins, and that's impossible. If you use a nickel, you'd have to have the remaining 10 cents with 3 coins, and that's also impossible. All the others are possible: 3 nickels and 1 dime equals 25 cents. 1 nickel and 3 dimes equals 35 cents. 2 nickels, 1 dime, and 1 quarter equals 45 cents. 3 dimes and 1 quarter equals 55 cents. Edwin
