Question 309904: How do you breakdown $1.00 into fifty coins
Answer by josmiceli(19441)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I guessed that there would be 40 pennies. Then,
if there were 10 dimes, that would make $1.40 -too much
Suppose there were 40 pennies and 5 dimes and 5 nickels
That would make $1.15 -closer
40 pennies, 4 dimes, 6 nickels
$1.10
40 pennies, 3 dimes, 7 nickels
$1.05
40 pennies, 2 dimes, 8 nickels
$1.00 -bingo
