Answer:8pennies,16dimes,13nickels,13quarters

Explanation:

total number of coin=50

16% are pennies

16% of 50

16/100 x 50=(16x50)/100=800/100=8

Pennies=8

32% are dimes

32% of 50

32/100 x 50=(32x50)/100=1600/100=16

Dimes = 16

5 more nickels than pennies

Pennies=8

nickels=8+5=13

nickels=13

8+16+13=37

50-37=13

13 quarters

pennies=8,dimes=16,nickels=13,quarters=13
