Quarter
Nickel
Penny
A dime is valued at 10 cents while the other coins have different values. This reinforces knowledge of coin denominations.
If you have 5 pennies, how many cents do you have?
5 cents
2 cents
10 cents
15 cents
Each penny is worth 1 cent, so 5 pennies equal 5 cents. This question reinforces basic counting of money.
What coin is worth 25 cents?
Nickel
Dime
Quarter
Penny
A quarter is equivalent to 25 cents. Recognizing coin values is essential for simple transactions.
How many pennies make up a dime?
5
10
25

Since a dime is worth 10 cents and each penny is 1 cent, 10 pennies are needed for a dime. This reinforces basic unit conversion.
If you have 3 nickels and 4 pennies, how many cents do you have?
20 cents
17 cents
18 cents
19 cents
Three nickels equal 15 cents and four pennies equal 4 cents, summing to 19 cents. This problem reinforces basic addition with coins.
Which combination uses the fewest coins to make 50 cents?
2 quarters
5 dimes
25 pennies

Since a quarter is worth 25 cents, you receive 25 pennies when exchanged. This reinforces understanding of coin values.
What is the fewest number of coins needed to make 40 cents using only nickels and dimes?
8 nickels
2 dimes and 2 nickels
4 dimes
1 dime and 6 nickels
Four dimes total 40 cents using just 4 coins, which is the fewest possible with nickels and dimes. This question encourages efficient problem solving.
How many cents are in 2 dimes, 1 nickel, and 3 pennies?
30 cents
27 cents
26 cents
28 cents
Calculating the coins gives 2 dimes (20 cents), 1 nickel (5 cents), and 3 pennies (3 cents), totaling 28 cents. This problem integrates multiple coin types.
If a coin bag has 4 pennies, 3 nickels, and 2 dimes, what is the total value in cents?
37 cents
38 cents
39 cents
40 cents
Multiplying the quantities by their values (4x1, 3x5, 2x10) and summing them gives 39 cents. This tests mixed coin addition.
You buy a candy for 30 cents and pay with a quarter and a dime. How much change do you receive?
10 cents
15 cents
5 cents
20 cents
A quarter and a dime total 35 cents; subtracting the 30-cent cost leaves 5 cents in change. This problem involves making correct change.
Which coin has the smallest value?
Quarter
Dime
Penny
Nickel
A penny is worth 1 cent, the smallest denomination among the options. This reinforces knowledge of coin values.
If you have 5 quarters, 2 dimes, and 7 pennies, what is the total value in cents?
150 cents
152 cents
142 cents
157 cents
Calculating each type (5x25, 2x10, 7x1) and summing them gives 152 cents. This question integrates computation with mixed coins.
If you have a collection of coins that add up to 100 cents and you have 3 quarters and 2 dimes, how many pennies must you have?
3
5
6
4
Three quarters (75 cents) and 2 dimes (20 cents) total 95 cents; therefore, you need 5 pennies to reach 100 cents. This reinforces subtractive reasoning.
A jar contains 100 coins consisting only of pennies and nickels that total 400 cents. How many nickels are in the jar?
90
50
75
65
Setting up the equations p + n = 100 and p + 5n = 400 and subtracting gives 4n = 300, so n = 75. This problem requires solving simultaneous equations.
You have 10 coins that are either pennies, nickels, or dimes totaling 67 cents. Which of the following could be the number of dimes you have?
5
3
4
2
By testing possible distributions, 5 dimes (with 3 nickels and 2 pennies) is the only valid solution that totals 67 cents. This problem emphasizes strategic coin combination.
A coin collection contains an equal number of dimes and quarters and totals 140 cents. How many dimes are in the collection?
6
5
3
4
Letting the number of dimes equal the number of quarters, the total value is 35 times that number. Solving 35x = 140 gives x = 4. This requires setting up and solving a linear equation.
A purse contains only dimes and quarters. If you have 10 coins that total 205 cents, how many quarters do you have?
5
8
6
7
Let q be the number of quarters and (10 - q) the number of dimes. The equation 25q + 10(10 - q) = 205 simplifies to 15q + 100 = 205, yielding q = 7. This problem involves algebraic manipulation.
If you have 8 coins consisting only of nickels and dimes that total 65 cents, how many dimes do you have?
6
3
5
4
Let d be the number of dimes, so the number of nickels is 8 - d. The equation 10d + 5(8 - d) = 65 simplifies to 5d + 40 = 65, yielding d = 5. This problem tests setting up and solving a linear equation based on coin values.
