Final answer:

To evenly divide the coins into 4 piggy banks, each piggy bank will have 23 pennies, 3 nickels, 10 dimes, and 2 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To evenly divide the coins into 4 piggy banks, we need to determine the number of coins in each type (pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters) and then divide them by 4.

  1. Pennies: 95 pennies divided by 4 is 23 with a remainder of 3. So, each piggy bank will have 23 pennies.
  2. Nickels: 13 nickels divided by 4 is 3 with a remainder of 1. So, each piggy bank will have 3 nickels.
  3. Dimes: 41 dimes divided by 4 is 10 with a remainder of 1. So, each piggy bank will have 10 dimes.
  4. Quarters: 11 quarters divided by 4 is 2 with a remainder of 3. So, each piggy bank will have 2 quarters.

Therefore, each piggy bank will have 23 pennies, 3 nickels, 10 dimes, and 2 quarters.
