Question

3. Write a program that prompts the user to input an integer that represents cents. The program will then calculate the smallest combination of coins that the user has. For example, 27 cents is 1 quarter, 0 nickle, and 2 pennies. That is 27=1*25+0*5+2*1.

Answer 1

The program in Python is as follows:

cents = int(input("Cents: "))

qtr = int(cents/25)

cents = cents -qtr * 25

nkl = int(cents/5)

pny = cents -nkl * 5

print(qtr,"quarters,",nkl,"nickels,",pny,"pennies")

Step-by-step explanation:

This gets input for cents

cents = int(input("Cents: "))

This calculates the quarters in cents

qtr = int(cents/25)

This gets the remaining cents

cents = cents -qtr * 25

This calculates the nickel in remaining cents

nkl = int(cents/5)

This calculates the pennies in remaining cents

pny = cents -nkl * 5

This prints the required output

print(qtr,"quarters,",nkl,"nickels,",pny,"pennies")
