My daughter has a math problem. Can someone please help?

Question

I have $1.15 in coins, but I cannot make change for a dollar, a half

dollar, a quarter, a dime, or a nickel. What coins do I have?

What does this mean?

Answer 1

it seems as though the question is missing some type of information.  i was thinking if you have:

one half dollar (.50), one quarter (.25), and four dimes (.40)  that would equal $1.15 and you couldn't make exact change for that amount ($1.00)

Answer 2

half dollar

a quarter

and four dimes

No info missing very easy

Happy homework

Answer 3

to make half a dollar all you need is a half dollar coin thats what you choose out of the coins avvailable to you... hope you understand it! =]

Answer 4

You have 4 dimes, a quarter, and a half dollar.

Answer 5

If you have a half dollar, a quarter, and four dimes, that would equal $1.15.  You would also not be able to make change for the amounts mentioned.
