A half dollar and a nickel. One of them isn't a nickel, the other one is.
To make 55 cents using only nickels (5 cents) and dimes (10 cents), we can set up the equation (5n + 10d = 55), where (n) is the number of nickels and (d) is the number of dimes. Simplifying this gives (n + 2d = 11). The possible values for (d) range from 0 to 5 (since 2d must be less than or equal to 11), leading to the pairs: (11, 0), (9, 1), (7, 2), (5, 3), (3, 4), and (1, 5). Thus, there are 6 ways to make 55 cents with nickels and dimes.
