Answer:

No, it is not possible to change $15 into an equal number of half-dollars, quarters, and dimes

Explanation:

Let there are equal number of half-dollars, quarters, and dimes

Let it be x

now, half-dollar=0.5 dollars

quarters=0.25 dollars

and dimes=0.1 dollars

0.5x+0.25x+0.1x=15

0.85x=15

x=17.6

which is not a whole number

Hence, It is not possible to change $15 into an equal number of half-dollars, quarters, and dimes
