\n" ); document.write( "The total you want to make is $1.50, which is a multiple of 10 cents.
\n" ); document.write( "Each dime is 10 cents; but each quarter is 25 cents.
\n" ); document.write( "To use quarters to get a total that is a multiple of 10 cents, you need an even number of quarters.

\n" ); document.write( "So you can make the total of $1.50 any time the number of quarters is even.

\n" ); document.write( "You can of course use 0 quarters and make the whole $1.50 using dimes.
\n" ); document.write( "And $1.50 is 6 quarters, so 6 is the largest number of quarters you can use to make a total of $1.50.

\n" ); document.write( "So the number of quarters you can use to make $1.50 is any even number from 0 to 6 -- i.e., 0, 2, 4, or 6.

\n" ); document.write( "So there are four different ways Mia can pay for the $1.50 drink with quarters and dimes. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
