A child has nine coins with a total value of 68 cents. What coins does the child have? (Hint: Make an orderly list of the nickels, dimes, pennies, and quarters.) The child has pennies nickels dimes quarters.

Answer 1

3 pennies, 2 nickels, 3 dimes, and 1 quarter.

Explanation:

3 pennies = $0.03

2 nickel = $0.10

3 dime = $0.30

1 quarters = $0.25

$0.03 + $0.10 + $0.30 +0.25 = $0.68

(3 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 9 coins)

$0.68 = 68 cents
