Question

Using pennies, nickels, dimes or quarters, determine which kind of coin is in each circle. First clue: The total value of the four coins is an odd number. Second clue: The sum of the value of the middle 2 coins is 11¢. Third clue: Each coin is worth the same as or more than the coin to its left (coin in C is worth the same as or more than the coin in B).

Answer 1

Coin 1: Penny

Coin 2: Penny

Coin 3: Dime

Coin 4: Quarter

------

Coin 1: 1

Coin 2: 1

Coin 3: 10

Coin 4: 25

Explanation:

Clue 1: 1 + 1 + 10 + 25 = 37, which is an odd number so that works.

Clue 2: 1 + 10 = 11, so that works.

Clue 3: 1 = 1 < 10 < 25 (1 is equal to 1 is less than 10 is less than 25) so that works.
