3 quarters & 2 nickels
To make 55 cents using 12 coins, you could use 3 quarters (25 cents each), 1 nickel (5 cents), and 8 pennies (1 cent each). This combination adds up to 75 cents from the quarters, 5 cents from the nickel, and 8 cents from the pennies, totaling 55 cents.
Well, honey, to make 48 cents with 6 coins, you can use 2 quarters (50 cents), 1 dime (10 cents), and 3 pennies (3 cents). That adds up to a grand total of 48 cents. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

Two dimes, a nickel, and 10 pennies. A good question is how do you figure that out. I started out eliminating the coins that could not be included. If one coin was a quarter, the other 12 had to add up to 10 cents. That can't happen so there can't be any quarters in the answer. Then I knew that the number of pennies had to be 0, 5, or 10 since there is no way for the remaining dimes and nickels to to add up to 35 cents if there were another number of pennies. If you had 5 pennies, then 8 coins would have to add up to 30 cents. Even using all nickels would only use up 6 coins so there had to be more pennies. I then went to 10 pennies and that left 3 coins to get to 25 cents. That's where I came up with 2 dimes, 1 nickel, and 10 pennies.
99 pennies If you require all four coins then 62 coins can add up to 99 cents: 1 quarter, 1 dime, 1 nickel, and 59 pennies
A dime plus a nickel plus 5 pennies add up to 20 cents.
Desmond gave Brenda at least two quarters, which are each worth 25 cents, totaling at least 50 cents. The remaining 5 coins must add up to 42 cents. Since quarters are the highest denomination, the other coins must be lower in value, such as dimes (10 cents) and pennies (1 cent). Therefore, Desmond likely gave Brenda 2 quarters, 2 dimes, and 3 pennies.
3 quarters & 2 nickels
One quarter, three dimes, and five pennies add up to sixty cents. And also 3 dimes and 6 nickels.
