This is like a trick question, you can either do it by guessing or by proper math. But in this case proper Math will take you a whole page so I choose the guessing way.
You know quarter = 50 cent, dime = 10 cent and nickel = 5 cent right?
I guessed all the possibilities and ended up with this
5 quarters, 3 dimes, and 15 nickels
That's the answer
But if you want proper Math, you can email me and i can show you
:D
