Question 218115
Let  x = # pennies,,,,,y=# nickels
.
.01x +.05y =1.00,,,,,but x+y=46,,,,or  y=46-x,,,,,,subst
.
.01x +.05(46-x) = 1.00
.
.01x +2.30 -.05x =1.00
.
-.04x = -1.30
.
x=32.5,,,,,,,,,,y=13.5
.
.
check,,,.01(32.5) +.05(13.5) = .325 +.675 =1.00,,,,,ok
.
since  the  money  required  to  reach  $1.00  is  not  in  even  numbers  for  the pennies  or  nickels,,,,it  is  NOT  possible  to  make  $1 even.
