\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If this MUST have quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, then start with 1 quarter, 1 dime, and as many nickels & pennies as needed to make the $1.00.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you want the fewest number of coins, then see what you can do starting from 3 quarters, and work downward according to coin values, trying to use as many of each coin as possible.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Again, starting at 3 quarters, this is 0.75 dollars.
\n" ); document.write( "Two dimes brings the money up to 0.95.
\n" ); document.write( "One nickel brings up to $1.00; but this way, there were no pennies.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Try again from 3 quarters.
\n" ); document.write( "Try now, ONE dime, so the money is now 0.85 dollar.
\n" ); document.write( "Use TWO nickels, bringing the money up to 0.95 dollars.
\n" ); document.write( "Now, just 5 pennies; brings money up to $1.00 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
