Janesa has 24 coins in her pocket worth exactly $1.00. She tells her younger brother Jackson that he can have the coins if he correctly guesses how many of each coin she has. She gives him the hint that there are only nickels and pennies.

Answer:

19 Nickels and 5 Pennies.

Explanation:

19 * 5 = 95

5 * 1 = 5

95 + 5 = 100 or 1.00.

Hope this helps!
