Answer 1

No, because pennies and quarters are different in costs

Answer 2

Yes, because addition is commutative

Explanation:

As long as they count the same amount of money, it doesn't matter if Elliot started with the quarters and his sister started with the pennies, the amount of money doesn't change.

For example, counting 4 quarters and 9 pennies make the same amount of money than counting 9 pennies and 4 quarters.
