------------
The 7 additional quarters = $1.75
256 - 175 = 81 cents
--> some equal # of nickels and quarters = 81 cents.
No integer solution.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 7*25=1.75
2.56-1.75=81
just nickels and quarters won't get you 81 cents
one quarter one nickel and one penny =81 cents
