They are the same amount but I'd rather have a trunk half full of dimes because it's more convenient to have less coins than more if they both equal the same.

Would a trunk of nickels be worth more or the same as a half a trunk of dimes?
The volume of a dime is roughly half the volume of a nickel, so any specific number of dimes would take up about half as much space as the same number of nickels*. In other words, a half a trunk of dimes would have at least the same number of that coin as a full trunk of nickels. However each dime is worth twice as much so the half-trunk of dimes would be worth more. * Because dimes are smaller they'd be able to pack somewhat more tightly than nickels so you could probably get slightly more dimes into the half-trunk. However that doesn't affect the answer; it simply means the half-trunk would be worth even more.

There must be at least one nickel, to account for the 5 cents of the 75 cents. So, one solution would be 1 nickel and 277 dimes. This would be (277 x 0.10) + 0.05 = 27.70 + 0.05 = 27.75 Another solution would be 1 dime and 553 nickels. This would be (553 x 0.05) + 0.10 = 27.65 + 0.10 = 27.75 You will have an odd number of nickels in an solution. Possible solutions include 1 nickel & 277 dimes 3 nickels & 276 dimes 5 nickels & 275 dimes 7 nickels & 274 dimes 9 nickels & 273 dimes up to 553 nickels and 1 dime
