Multiply each of your given answers by 25 cents, then subtract that amount from $1.45. Subtract the number in the given answer from 12 to find the number of remaining coins. See if it is possible using pennies, nickels, and dimes, to create the balance of the money required from the number of coins left. One of the choices is impossible.
