Question 214256: Two fifth of the coins are dimes. Half of the coins are pennies. The rest are nickles. What is the total value of the coins? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
If there were 100 coins, you would have 40 dimes for $4.00, 50 pennies for $0.50, and 10 nickels for $0.50 making a total of $5.00, but if you only had 50 coins you would have 20 dimes for $2.00, 25 pennies for $0.25, and 5 nickels for $0.25 making a total of $2.50.
That's only two examples out of an infinite number of possibilities.
