What two coins will make up 30 cents but you cannot use a nickel ?
What two coins will make up 30 cents but you cannot use a nickel ?
The way you phrased the question, there is no answer.
The usual way the problem is worded is, "What two coins total 30 cents? One of them is not a nickel."
The answer, of course, is a quarter and a nickel.
The problem stated that "one" of the two coins was not a nickel but said nothing about the "other" coin not being a nickel. A play on words.
