Question 555217: I have 46cents. I have 7 coins. Which coins do I have?

You at least have one penny (since it's the smallest denomination to get that 6 in the units digit)

So 6 coins must add to 46-1 = 45 cents

It turns out that 3 nickels and 3 dimes (3+3 = 6 coins) do the trick nicely. You can find this by trial and error.

So you have 1 penny, 3 nickels, and 3 dimes
