Not an algebra problem.

Just start with four the typical largest coin size and start splitting to get your $5 value and TEN coins. Either begin with 5 of $1 coins,... or 10 of Fifty-Cent pieces. You already know the answer to the question. There are other possible combinations but you can find them yourself.
