I think that the other coins are 2 nickels and 2 pennies.

Step-by-step explanation:

37-25=12
5-1=4

Since he has 4 coins and 12 cents left, he would need 10 and 2 cents which would be produced by 2 nickels and 2 pennies

5+5+1+1+25=37

Hope this helps!

Answer:

2 nickles

2 pennies

Step-by-step explanation: To find the amount of the 4 coins, we need to subtract 25 from 37. So, 37 - 25 = 12

So, it can be 2 nickles (10 cents)

So, 12 - 10 = 2

and 2 pennies. I hope this helps!
