I am having a problem with this, please help me. Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3x.50+.25+.1+2x.05=1.50+.25+.10+.10=1.95
We can see from the above equation that Kent has $1.95 in change resulting from 3 half-dollars, 1 quarter, 1 dime, and 2 nickels; thus making 7 coins in all without change for a nickel or a half-dollar..
