What is the greatest amount of money you could leave for a tip if...

1.no paper money is left
2.with the coins tat are left, change cannot be ;made for a quarter or for a dollar.

5 answers

I believe the answer to be $0.99 made up of 3 quarters, 2 dimes and 4 pennies. Alternately 1 dime and 2 nickels or 4 nickels could be substituted for the 2 dimes.

My 5th grade daughter's class under guidance of her teacher however came up with $1.69 made up of 3 quarters, 9 dimes and 4 pennies.

I tried to explain to my daughter that I did not believe this to be correct as 5 of the dimes and 2 of thequarters could be exchanged for a dollar.

Either the question was not worded correctly or the teacher's guide book was incorrect and the teacher did not bother to work out the problem herself.

Has anyone else seen this problem? Does anyone know the guidebook answer?
Am I getting old and no longer know math?
I reviewed my math again and now believe the answer to be $1.39 made up of 3 quarters, 4 dimes and 4 pennies. Exact change for a dollar or a quarter can not be given with these coins.
Sorry, My revised answer was supposed to read $1.19 not $1.39!
Why isn't here a nickel considered if the answer is $1.19
I believe it should be $0.99.

3 quarters
2 dimes
4 pennies
