That's just one way to do it, but there are multiple combinations you can come up with to make a total of 85 cents using those coins.

2 quarters, 3 dimes, 1 nickel, 3 pennies. I worked it out by knowing that 3 pennies would be needed for sure (to get from 85 to 88), but not 8 pennies, since there's no 80 cent coin. Then just started working it out with quarters, then seeing how many dimes, and then nickels would work out to the six remaining coins.
3 quarters & 2 nickels
If you received a 15 per cent discount, you paid 100-15 = 85 per cent of the original price. And this was the 545.28. So the question can be re-stated as: if 85% is 545.28 what is 100% ? and the answer is 545.28/85*100 = 641.51
a dime, a quarter and a fifty-cent piece.

1x25,6x10=85
Using pennies, nickels, and dimes: 85 pennies 1 nickel 1 dime Total = 87 coins.
3 quarters & 2 nickels
20-3 = 17 and 17/20 = 85/100 = .85 or 85%. Percent is a ratio per cent or 100. Multiplying both the 20 and the 17 by 5 will make the denominator 100 and the percent sought after.
Expressed as a vulgar fraction in its lowest terms, 85 per cent is equal to 85/100 = 17/20.
