Question 438332

Yes.


The difference between 17 and 13 is 4.  4 times 5 is the 20 cents needed for the paper.  That suggests that 5 coins must be involved somehow.


Give the paper boy five 17 cent coins worth 85 cents.  He gives you back a newspaper worth 20 cents and five 13 cent coins worth 65 cents.
