You have 1.21 dollars in your piggy bank in dimes nickel and pennys if you take out all dimes you have 41cents how many nickels do you have?

Answer 1

You could have:

8 nickels and 1 penny

or 6 nickels and 11 pennies

or 4 nickels and 21 pennies

or 2 nickels and 31 pennies.

The option of 0 nickels and 41 pennies is excluded by the necessity that the amount is made up of dimes, nickels and pennies; 0 nickels would mean the $1.21 was made up of dimes and pennies only.
