Question 498746: What 8 coins total $1.15?
Answer by Edwin McCravy(20060) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
There are four possible solutions if you allow half dollars.
But there is only one possible solution if you don't.

Without using any half dollars,
3 quarters, 3 dimes, and 2 nickels.

or using half dollars:
1 half dollar, 6 dimes and 1 nickel
or
1 half dollar, 1 quarter, 2 dimes, and 4 nickels
or
2 half dollars, 1 dime, and 5 pennies.
