Using 2 quarters or a half dollar coin, you would use smaller coins only for the remaining 15 cents, and would have no change for a quarter.
\n" ); document.write( "With 2 quarters, you would need to make the 15 cents out of 8-2=6 more coins.
\n" ); document.write( "For that, a dime and 5 pennies would be fine.
\n" ); document.write( "If you use a half dollar coin, you would need to make the 15 cents out of 8-1=7 coins, and using 2 nickels and 5 pennies would work. \n" ); document.write( "
