Answer by rcmcc(152) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!

First you must find the amount in face value the coin sets have, this works out to $0.95 cents.
0.95X<20.00
divide out the .95 cents to isolate X,
21.05263158=x
because you can only have whole sets you must round down. so
Steve can sell 21 sets per day.
