To determine the smallest number of coins that will total exactly 17.85, we need to consider the denominations of the coins available. If we have coins in denominations of 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, 0.25, 1.00, and 2.00, we can use a combination of these coins to reach 17.85. The smallest number of coins needed would be achieved by using the highest denomination coins first, followed by the smaller denominations to make up the difference. The specific combination of coins would depend on the availability of each denomination and the constraints of the problem.

Kim has 40 coins with a total of 8.80 some of the coins are nickels and the rest are quarters how many of each kind of coin does Kim have?

Let's represent the number of nickels as (x) and the number of quarters as (y). We can create a system of equations to solve for (x) and (y): (x + y = 40) (total number of coins) (0.05x + 0.25y = 8.80) (total value of the coins) From the first equation, we can rewrite it as (x = 40 - y). Substituting this into the second equation gives us (0.05(40 - y) + 0.25y = 8.80). Solving this equation will give us the values of (x) (nickels) and (y) (quarters).

John has a total of 13 coins in his pocket Of the 13 coins they are all either quarters or dimes The total value of the coins is 250 How many dimes does John have in his pocket?

If all coins were dimes he would have $1.30. Every quarter that replaces a dime increases the total by 15c. The total has to be increased by $1.20 which is 15c x 8. He has 8 quarters and 5 dimes.

What is is the smallest number of coins?

To determine the smallest number of coins needed for a specific amount of money, we typically consider the denominations available. For example, using coins of higher denominations first can minimize the total number of coins required. The exact number will depend on the total amount and the denominations in question, such as pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. If you provide a specific amount and the denominations available, I can give a more precise answer.


What is The smallest number of coins that will total exactly 19.95?

It depends on the currency.Current US coins are limited to $1 so the number of coins to reach $19.95 will be 24. Nineteen $1 coins, three quarters and two dimes.In times gone by, US currency included $10 and $5 coins so the number was once lower than the current 24 coins.UK currency has a £2 coin so £19.95 will require 14 coins. Nine £2 coins, one £1 coin, one 50 pence, two 20 pence coins and a 5 pence coin.

How many quarters and dimes are in 17.10 cents their needs to be exactly 102 coins?

Let ( q ) be the number of quarters and ( d ) be the number of dimes. We have two equations based on the problem: ( q + d = 102 ) (the total number of coins) ( 25q + 10d = 1710 ) (the total value in cents) Solving these equations, we find that there are 6 quarters and 96 dimes.

What is the number of each type of coin if A lady has rupees 1 and rupees 2 coins in her purse if in all she has 50 coins totalling rupees 70?

Let the number of ₹1 coins be ( x ) and the number of ₹2 coins be ( y ). We have two equations based on the problem: ( x + y = 50 ) (total coins) and ( x + 2y = 70 ) (total value). Solving these equations, we find ( x = 20 ) and ( y = 30 ). Therefore, the lady has 20 ₹1 coins and 30 ₹2 coins.

When a piggy bank has 160 total coins valuing 10.50. Think about a system of equations that can be used to represent the number of nickels and dimes and then think through?

If n is the number of nickels and d the number of dimes, then the equations are:n + d = 160 (total number of coins) 5n + 10d = 1050 (total value). And I have thought through to the answer.
