The greatest coin is a quarter; If you choose three quarters, you only have $0.75, so $5.00 is greater.
The answer is 5 dollars - the sum of all combinations of three coins you can make using only pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters is $4.82, which is less than $5.00. Jennifer is correct, but her reasoning is incorrect.
