You almost scared me with this one, but I'll give it a go. Easy ones first:
(1) 3 quarters
(2) 7 dimes; 1 nickel
(3) 15 nickels
Then it gets tricky:
(4) 2 quarters, 5 nickels
(5) 2, quarters, 2 dimes, 1 nickel
(6) 1 more time to convert 1 dime into 2 nickels
(7) 1 quarter, 10 nickels
(8) 1 quarter, 5 dimes
(9-12) 4 more times to convert each dime, but 1, into 2 nickels
(13-18) 6 more times to convert each dime, but 1, into 2 nickels.
Did I miss any? 18 different ways (thank goodness you didn't include pennies!)
A nickel is 5 cents and a quarter is 25 cents so there are five times as many nickels as quarters in any amount. That means 20 quarters is the same as 20*5 = 100 nickels.
14 quarters plus 15 dimes plus 12 nickels and 5 pennies is a total amount of $5.65
92 quarters is equal to 23 dollars. 46 dimes is equal to 4 dollars and sixty cents. 23 nickels is equal to one dollar and fifteen cents. Together, the amount is equal to $28.75
The answer depends on the constraints of the problem.If you are required to have at least one of each of the named coins: 4 pennies, 2 nickels, 1 dime, and 3 quarters is 99 cents ($0.99).If you just have to pick from these, but not necessarily choose at least one of each: 4 pennies, 0 nickels, 9 dimes, 3 quarters is $1.69
There are probably hundreds of variations to get to that amount. Using the fewest coins possible, it would take 26 quarters, 1 nickel, and 1 cent.
4 nickels and 5 quarters
A nickel is 5 cents and a quarter is 25 cents so there are five times as many nickels as quarters in any amount. That means 20 quarters is the same as 20*5 = 100 nickels.
A dollar is 100 cents, a quarter is 25 cents, and a nickel is 5 cents. Thus a dollar is composed of 4 (100/25) quarters, or 20 (100/5) nickels. Therefore there are 5 times as many nickels in a dollar as there are quarters. Another way to look at it is to say that there are 5 nickels in a quarter, so there are 5 times as many nickels as quarters in any amount.
14 quarters plus 15 dimes plus 12 nickels and 5 pennies is a total amount of $5.65
Since 8 quarters equals $2, you must have fewer than 8 quarters. You can start with a guess and then refine it. If you have 5 quarters, that is $1.25. Then, 5 dimes is $0.50 and 5 nickels is $0.25. The total of $1.25 + 0.50 + 0.25 = 2.00.
The question suggests that there are 24 coins. 13 of them are pennies, 14 are nickels, and 16 are dimes and the rest are quarters. To answer this question, One would add the number of pennies, nickels, and dimes and subtract the sum of those coins from 24. The difference of the two numbers would be the amount of quarters. However, 13+14+16=43. 24-43= -19 There can't be -19 quarters.
92 quarters is equal to 23 dollars. 46 dimes is equal to 4 dollars and sixty cents. 23 nickels is equal to one dollar and fifteen cents. Together, the amount is equal to $28.75

The coins in a cash register amount to $12.50. One coin combination that would produce this total is 40 quarters, 19 dimes, 2 nickels, and 50 pennies. Another combination is 20 quarters, 50 dimes, 45 nickels, and 25 pennies.

well the dimes account for about 1/4 of the amount so about 25%
