Answer:
28 Pennies and 2 Quarters or 18 Pennies and 4 Dimes.
Explanation:
Assuming that we are using the American currency.
First we need to break down the different equivalences of each coin.
- 1 Penny = 1 cent
- 1 Nickel = 5 cents
- 1 Dime = 10 cents
- 1 Quarter = 25 cents
One combination would be:
28 Pennies and 2 Quarters:
28 Pennies = 28 Cents
2 Quarters = 50 Cents
50 + 28 = 78 Cents.
Another combination would be:
18 Pennies = 18 Cents
12 Nickels = 60 Cents
18 + 60 = 78 Cents.
