Counting Coins Worksheets

problem solving coin worksheets

This is a great place to start with younger students as they are likely to encounter coins before they encounter too many bills. Including children in money transactions helps them to develop important money management skills and has benefits in other math topics such as fractions.

Until everyone starts paying with their smart phones and microchips in their fingers, coins are still a thing. The U.S. Mint still makes billions of coins every year and children will probably encounter them very early on in their life. Knowing how much money you have in coins can be accomplished with a coin counting machine, or it can be accomplished with some mental math.

Rounding Money Amounts

problem solving coin worksheets

The next dollar up is a skill for young students who are not yet able to make change, but can determine how many dollars it will take to cover an amount. For example, if something is $5.45 in a store, then they would need to give $6 to cover that amount since the next dollar up from $5.45 is $6. Students should understand that any amount above zero after the decimal means they need to add another dollar to the number before the decimal in order to have enough to pay for the item. The rest of the worksheets in this section are general rounding questions involving dollar amounts.

Adding and Subtracting Money

problem solving coin worksheets

Adding money amounts is a nice way to gently move students into thinking about decimals and what a great opportunity to use some manipulatives. Students generally perform better with math that has meaning. Decimal numbers to hundredths have most likely been in students' lives since very early on as stores display prices, parents comment about the prices to help develop critical thinking in their children, so if there is one decimal that students understand well, it is money. They sometimes have trouble relating it to paper and pencil which is why manipulatives come in handy. Play money is a little cheaper than real money and doesn't disappear quite as quickly.

The strategy of choice for subtracting money is the counting up strategy. It works especially well for giving change from whole dollar/Pound/Euro amounts. Following is an example of how it works. Let's say the bill at the grocery store came out to $13.46 and the cashier was presented with a $20.00 bill and for some odd reason, the monitor on his cash machine had a crack in it that obscured the amount of change to give. What would he do?! The first thing to do is to take four cents out of the drawer because he needs to add the $13.46 to an unknown amount to make $20, and four cents will bring the $13.46 up to $13.50 which makes things rounder and, for most, a little easier. Next, he needs to pull out two quarters to bring the amount up to $14 even. He can then remove a dollar bill to make the amount $15, and finally pull out a $5 bill to count up to $20. Now, if he wanted to know how much change he gave, he just needs to think back to what he pulled out of the drawer: $5 + $1 + $0.50 + $0.04 = $6.54.

Multiplying and Dividing Money

problem solving coin worksheets

It would be nice if our own money could multiply quite as nicely in our bank accounts as it does on these worksheets. Alas, we will have to settle with low interest rates multiplying our money over the span of decades. These multiplying money worksheets would go well with some money manipulatives. Simply make several piles of the same amount (the same number of piles as the multiplier), combine it all into one pile, regroup as much as possible (e.g. five ones into a five), and count up the results.

Word Problems to Introduce Money Skills

Money is a powerful and familiar application of basic math operations, and the money story problem worksheets on this page are perfect for grade school age children to start putting their basic arithmetic skills to work.

The worksheets start with sets that have exactly the information needed to solve particular money word problems, but an important skill is to learn to identify excess or unused facts in the problem description. Because money problems in the real world appear in the context of lots of information you may not need to solve a problem, recognizing what information is important is often as critical a skill as being able to do the basic arithmetic. The money word problems worksheets marked as having 'extra facts' on this page are appropriate for 3rd or 4th grade students who can confidently solve other problems.

The word problems are grouped into sets focusing on addition and subtraction, or multiplication and division, or combinations of all four operations. If you are learning basic math facts, worksheets appropriate to the operations you are working on may help solidify concepts and can be used alongside math fact practice for extra support. Because these are all money story problems, they typically involve both dollars and cents, so students will need some familiarity with decimal arithmetic to solve them.

For a visual introduction to money, check out the Money Worksheets page, which includes Making Change and a really nice set of Printable Play Money that can be a great manipulative aid when solving money word problems and more!

How to money word problems? Answering money word problems involves breaking down the problem, identifying the key information, and using basic arithmetic to find the solution. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to approach and answer money word problems:

  • Read the Problem Carefully: Start by carefully reading the entire word problem. Understand the context and what is being asked.
  • Identify the Given Information: Identify the information provided in the problem. Look for amounts of money, quantities of items, and any other numerical data.
  • Determine the Unknown: Identify what the problem is asking you to find. Is it the total cost, change, remaining amount, or some other value?
  • Translate Words into Math: Translate the given information and the unknown into mathematical expressions or equations. Use variables for unknowns if necessary.
  • Choose the Appropriate Operation: Determine which mathematical operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division) is needed to solve the problem based on the context.
  • Perform the Calculation: Use the chosen operation to perform the calculation. Pay attention to units (e.g., dollars and cents) and ensure your answer makes sense in the context of the problem.
  • Check Your Answer: After finding a solution, check if it makes sense in the context of the problem. Ensure your answer is reasonable and meets the conditions provided.
  • Write a Clear and Concise Answer: Express your final answer clearly, using appropriate units. If the problem asks for an amount of money, represent it in dollars and cents.

Example: Problem: Mia bought a toy for $15. She paid with a $20 bill. How much change should Mia receive? Solution: Given Information: Mia spent $15, paid with a $20 bill. Unknown: Amount of change Mia should receive. Translate into Math: Change = Amount paid - Cost of the toy. Choose Operation: Subtraction (20 - 15). Perform Calculation: 20 − 15 = 5 Check Answer: The change is $5, which is reasonable given the cost of the toy and the amount paid. Write Answer: Mia should receive $5 in change.

Develop students’ money life skills plus work on math concepts with real-life money word problems with solutions and answers.

Bell ringers, math centers, classroom money pickles, daily warm-ups…you can sneak these money word problems with solutions and answers into your student’s day in lots of different ways.

group of high school students with teacher around table working, text overlay

Or, make them the highlight of your 30-minute personal finance session – use whatever time you’ve got.  

The exciting thing about using money word problems and consumer math worksheets is you’re giving your students the chance to practice both math AND money life skills they’ll be able to use out in the wilds of the “real world” (like in the produce section of the super market).

Awesome! Let’s dig in.

Money Word Problems with Solutions and Answers

Money word problems can begin as early as 2 nd grade with simple addition and subtraction.

And they get increasingly more complex – two steps, then multiple steps, and more complex thinking – as students go through middle school and then high school.

We’ll start with the easier money word problems, and move into more complex ones, by grade.

Psst: do your students need a refresher on counting money or identifying coins? Here are free 2 nd grade money worksheets , 14 money counting games , and a bunch of free consumer math worksheets .

Money Word Problems Grade 3

While there’s no mention of money for Grade 3 Common Core Standards , you can relate several of the math standards to money word problems.

Teaching students math AND money life skills at the same time? #winning.

For example:

  • Number and Operations in Base Ten (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.NBT.A.2) : Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
  • Operations and Algebraic Thinking (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.D.8) : Solve two-step word problems using the four operations. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.

Here are some worksheets with money word problems to help your students practice these concepts.

1. Money Task Cards + Scavenger Hunt

This free set of money task cards each has mostly one-step money word problems on them.

You can cut them out, and do a scavenger hunt around the room to get students up and moving. OR, she has lots of other ideas for how to use them. There’s also a worksheet asking students to come up with their own money word problem using specific amounts.

Very helpful!

2. Money Shopping Word Problems

Scroll down on this page, and you’ll find a nice collection of shopping money word problem worksheets for free.

Students will work through:

  • Adding up the cost of ordered items from a menu
  • Calculating their change after an order
  • Calculating sales tax

They’ve also got some good free worksheets on Wage word problems, simple and compound interest calculation word problems, etc.

Hint: there’s worksheets in here for older grades, too.

Two-Step Money Word Problems for 3 rd Graders

You likely saw above that third graders are supposed to be doing two-step word problems.

Two-step money word problems require two calculations to complete them. They’re not entirely straightforward – your students will need to think things through a bit more before they can come up with the correct answer.

3. Money Within $100 Word Problems

Get your set of 5 free, two-step money word problems within $100. Each word problem has space to draw and work through the problem.

4. Simple Two-Step Money Word Problems

Here’s a three-page set of two-step money word problems that have students add up the total amount of spending, then figure out how much change they should get back.

There are spaces for students to work out each of the two steps.

Hint: this is a free set of money word problems, but you’ll need a free Teachers Pay Teachers account to access it.

5. August Problem Solving Path Worksheets

I just love the real-world approach this packet of word problems takes.

She includes a math journal for each problem (there is one money word problem, and the rest are word problems involving other common core standards for 3 rd graders), and a rubric on the math journal sheet so that you can easily grade based on your student’s work.

There’s both a US and a UK version.

6. Two Simple Two-Step Money Word Problems

And here’s another set of two-step money word problems for 2 nd -4 th graders. Again, kids are asked to add up the total cost of items purchased, then calculate how much change they would get back.

7. Can I Buy It? Word Problems

If you’re looking for an easier set of two-step word problems for your bunch of students, then you should check these out.

8. Mix of One-Step and Two-Step Money Word Problems

Here’s a simple worksheet that has a mix of both two-step and one-step money word problems for 3 rd graders. The theme is around ordering food items.

Money Word Problems with Solutions and Answers Grade 5

There are no Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) specifically for money math at the 5th grade level.

However, you can relate the math concepts in the CCSSM to real-life money scenarios with these money word problems.

  • Number and Operations in Base Ten (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.NBT.B.5 – B.7) : Students should be able to perform operations with multi-digit whole numbers and decimals to the hundredths (which is an essential skill when working with money).
  • Operations and Algebraic Thinking (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.OA.A.2) : Students should be able to understand and write expressions and equations and solve real-world and mathematical problems using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

1. Bertie’s Big Win

Students are tasked with figuring out how much money Bertie won through the lottery, based on the fractional amounts he spent on various things (like a house, a trip to space, a luxury yacht, etc.).

Answer sheet is included, which is good – because this is a tough one!

Hint: they say on the website that the 4 th grade versions of his money word problems are a bit easier than the 5 th grade ones, so you might want to try those if this seems too hard for your class.

2. YMI’s Healthy Meal, Healthy Budget Worksheets

Grab your free teaching kit (for grades 3-5, then 6-8) that pairs healthy eating lessons with 5 money math word problems you’d find in the real world.

For example, the first word problem asks students to plan a meal for two people using chicken tenders as the base. They’re given the serving size for each person, then two different options to buy and asked to calculate which is the best money (by calculating the per-unit cost and then comparing that with what they get). 

Answers and explanations are provided.

3. Mixed Practice Money Word Problems

Students are given three paragraphs describing a real-life scenario that is going to cost money. Then, students are asked a series of questions below it, and will need to use multiple kinds of calculations to solve them (subtraction, addition, multiplication, etc.).

4. Value Your Power Word Problems

Here’s a set of money math worksheets tied to electricity use in the household.

In the first activity, students are asked to decipher an electricity bill. They’ll chart the kilowatts used each month of the year, and then work through a series of questions based on that information (such as calculating an average monthly cost).

There’s also a Value Your Power Scoreboard worksheet students can take home as a family challenge.

Hint: it says it’s for 4 th grade – but I suspect these would be great for some 5 th grade students anyway.

5. Thanksgiving Dinner PBL

This project for grades 3-5 starts with the following driving question:

“ I need to feed my family of six for Thanksgiving. For my meal I need an appetizer, main dish, two side dishes, a dessert, and a drink (at least). I have $175 to spend on all the ingredients and any decorations I may want. What should I make?”

Students are tasked with creating a meal plan, recipes, and a grocery list with prices.

Hint: you’ll need a free account on ShareMyLesson.com to download this free lesson plan and rubric.

Advanced Money Word Problems for Older Students

Got a group of high schoolers, or advanced middle schoolers to find money word problems for? These multi-step money word problems and money-thinkers might be just the thing.

Money Word Problem #1: Ad Sale Decode

Money Lesson : Ads aren't always truthful, or as good of a deal as they first seem.

Norgay Sherpa, a mighty Everest climber who has personally climbed to the top of Everest three times (called summitting), saw a television commercial for a pair of Black Diamond Trail Pro Shock Trekking Poles. They have non-slip grips + are collapsible (something that would be very helpful on future climbs).

He wants to purchase them, but is confused about how much his total cost will be. Here are the details for a pair of trekking poles:

  • Two easy payments of $127.05
  • $9.95 Shipping & Handling
  • Get one extra pair free (an incredible deal!), just pay Shipping & Handling (S&H)

What is Sherpa Norgay's total cost going to be?

Answer : $274. How you get there is adding the two “easy payments” of $127.05 + $127.05 + $9.95 S&H + $9.95 S&H (for the second “free” pair).

Money Word Problem #2: Car Insurance Snafu

Money Lesson : How auto insurance works.

One of your expedition partners, Sandy, is facing a money dilemma. She called her husband over Base Camp's satellite phone and found out he was in a car accident. Don't worry, he's okay! But their family car looks like it was in an Avalanche.

Here are the details:

  • The accident was her husband's fault, meaning he hit the other car.
  • Her family has a liability auto insurance policy that insures both of their vehicles.
  • They pay a monthly premium of $96/month.
  • They took the vehicle to a repair shop, and the quote to repair their car is $875.
  • They have an auto insurance deductible of $500.

How much is this car repair going to cost Sandy and her family out of their own pocket?

Answer : $875. They don't have comprehensive car insurance, and Liability Only insurance means costs to repair the other person's car will be paid, but not their own car. So, they're left to pay the full $875.

Money Word Problem #3: Foreign Currency Mix Up

Money Lesson : How to figure out the value of a US Dollar against one of the other 168 currencies in the world.

Mingma Sherpa has been an outstanding partner for your expedition team. He's done all of his duties to help you on Everest − such as setting up your tents and cooking some of your meals − and was paid 360,908.33 Nepalese Rupees for doing so.

It is common courtesy to tip your Sherpa, especially when they've done a great job. If you were to tip Mingma 51,593.24 Nepalese Rupees, how many US Dollars would that be?

Assume that 1 US dollar = 103.186 Nepalese Rupees.

Answer : $500 US Dollars. That's 51,593.24/103.186.

I hope you've found some helpful money word problems with solutions and answers. I think these can open up some fun and helpful discussions with and between students that will help them manage their money as adults.

Coin Problems

Coin word problems.

The secret to success in solving coin word problems is to be able to set up the correct systems of equations and precisely solve it using the substitution method or at times, the elimination method .

It’s also worth pointing out that the presentation of the algebraic expressions in coin word problems are a bit different and not so straightforward compared to what we’re used to. For example, instead of saying “ the number of nickels is 2 more than the number of dimes “, you’ll often see this expressed in coin word problems as “ there are 2 more nickels than dimes “. Both algebraic expressions can be written in an equation as [latex]n=d+2[/latex] but just expressed differently.

Therefore, it is crucial to have a keen eye and understanding of the information given in a coin word problem so we can translate the algebraic expressions correctly into equations. More importantly, you must be familiar with the value of each kind of US coin.

The penny's value in cents is 1 and 0.01 in dollars, the nickel's value is 5 cents and 0.05 in dollars, the dime's value in cents is 10 and 1.10 in dollars and the quarter's value is 25 in cents  and 0.25 in dollars.

Note: In solving our problems below, we will use the value of the coins in dollars which are listed under the third column in the table above. As you can see, the penny has a value of 0.01, the nickel has a value of 0.05, the dime has a value of 0.10, and the quarter has a value of 0.25.

Example 1: Tamara has 35 coins in nickels and quarters. In all, she has $4.15. How many of each kind of coin does she have?

Right off the bat, the problem gives us two important pieces of information. First, it tells us that there is a total number of 35 coins consisting of nickels and quarters . Secondly, the total value of the coins is $4.15 . We need to translate these statements into algebraic equations to find how many nickels and how many quarters she has.

Coin word problems usually involve two types of equations. One equation describes the total number of coins while the other describes the total amount of money.

But before we start writing our equations, let’s select variables that will stand for the unknown values in our problem.

  • Let [latex]n[/latex] = number of nickels
  • Let [latex]q[/latex] = number of quarters

Now that we have our variables, let’s write the two statements into equations.

1) Tamara has 35 coins in nickels and quarters .

Equation #1: [latex]n + q = 35[/latex]

2) In all , she has $4.15 .

Equation #2: [latex]0.05n + 0.25q = 4.15[/latex]

Note that in Equation #2, we multiplied the value of each coin (in dollars) by how many of that specific coin we have. So, since nickel is worth 5 cents, we multiplied 0.05 by the number of nickels ([latex]n[/latex]) and multiplied 0.25 by the number of quarters ([latex]q[/latex]) since a quarter is worth 25 cents. We added both algebraic expressions and set it equal to the total value of the coins.

This setup, however, results in Equation #2 having two variables. So to solve for the total amount of money, we first need to define one of the coins in terms of the other. In other words, we need to express the number of nickels in terms of the number of quarters or vice versa.

From Equation #1, if we subtract the number of quarters from 35 (which is the total number of coins), what we’ll get is the number of nickels. We can write this algebraically as,

[latex]n = 35 – q[/latex]

By doing this, we now have our number of nickels ([latex]n[/latex]) defined in terms of the number of quarters ([latex]q[/latex]).

Our next step is to substitute the expression for [latex]n[/latex] into Equation #2 and solve for the number of quarters ([latex]q[/latex]). By defining [latex]n[/latex] in terms of [latex]q[/latex], we now have an equation with only one variable.

0.05(35-q)+0.25q=4.15 → q=12

Perfect! This tells us that the number of quarters is 12. Since the problem is asking us to find how many of each coin Tamara has, we will simply subtract 12 from 35 to get the number of nickels.

n=35-q → 35-12 → n=23

So we have,

  • Number of Nickels: 23
  • Number of Quarters: 12

Answer: Tamara has 23 nickels and 12 quarters .

When solving word problems, it’s important to always verify if you got the correct answers. To check, we can plug in the values that we got for [latex]n[/latex] and [latex]q[/latex] into Equation #2 and see if both sides of the equation equal each other.

0.05(23)+0.25(12)=4.15

Note that you may also use Equation #1 to check your answers. Like what we just did, you simply have to substitute [latex]n[/latex] and [latex]q[/latex] with 23 and 12, respectively, and see if they equal 35 which is the total number of coins.

Example 2: My brother has been putting only nickels and dimes in his piggy bank. He is able to save up to $3.65. If he has 4 more nickels than dimes, how many of each kind of coin does my brother have?

Let’s start by picking our variables that will stand for the number of each type of coin.

  • Let [latex]d[/latex] = number of dimes

In this example, we don’t know how many coins there are in total. However, we know that the coins inside the piggy bank only consist of nickels and dimes which amount to $3.65 . Translating this into an algebraic equation, we can write this as

Equation #1: [latex]0.05n + 0.10d = 3.65[/latex]

We are also told that there are 4 more nickels than dimes which means that the number of nickels ([latex]n[/latex]) is equal to the number of dimes ([latex]d[/latex]) plus four more.

Equation #2: [latex]n = d+4[/latex]

As you can see in Equation #2, we already have the nickels ([latex]n[/latex]) defined in terms of the dimes ([latex]d[/latex]). In this case, we can go ahead and substitute [latex]n[/latex] with [latex]d + 4[/latex] in Equation #1, then solve for [latex]d[/latex].

0.05(d+4)+0.10d=3.65 → d=23

So, this means that there are 23 dimes. Since there are 4 more nickels than dimes, then there must be 27 nickels. We also arrive at the same answer when solving for [latex]n[/latex] using Equation #2.

n=27

Going back to our original problem, how many of each kind of coin does my brother have?

Answer: My brother has 27 nickels and 23 dimes .

Let’s plug in the values that we got for [latex]n[/latex] and [latex]d[/latex] into Equation #1 to see if they amount to the total value of the coins which is $3.65.

0.05(27)+0.10(23)=3.65

Example 3: A jar of coins has one-third as many dimes as quarters. If the total amount of coins is $5.10, how many dimes and quarters are in the jar?

Before we translate the important statements that are provided in the problem, let’s first select the variables for the unknown values.

1) A jar of coins has one-third as many dimes as quarters

Equation #1: [latex]\large{d = {1 \over 3}q}[/latex]

2) The total amount of coins is $5.10

Equation #2: [latex]0.10d + 0.25q = 5.10[/latex]

This problem involves a fraction but the setup is the same as our previous example. Again, we are not given the total number of coins, but we are told that the total value of the dimes and quarters is $5.10.

We were already able to define the number of dimes ([latex]d[/latex]) in terms of the number of quarters ([latex]q[/latex]) in Equation #1. So in solving for [latex]q[/latex] using Equation #2, we will simply substitute [latex]d[/latex] with the expression [latex]\large{1 \over 3}q[/latex]

0.10[(1/3)q]+0.25q=5.10 → q=18

So there are 18 quarters. Let’s now use this value to find the number of dimes.

d=(1/3)q → (1/3)(18) → d=6

Therefore, we have

  • Number of Dimes: 6
  • Number of Quarters: 18

Answer: There are 6 dimes and 18 quarters in the jar.

0.10(6)+0.25(18)=5.10

Example 4: Damian had two-thirds as many pennies as nickels. The total value of his coins was $2.38. Find the number he had of each kind of coin.

This problem is quite similar to Example 3 so you should be familiar already with the steps needed to answer this word problem.

  • Let [latex]p[/latex] = number of pennies

What pieces of information are given to us?

1) Damian had two-thirds as many pennies as nickels .

Equation #1: [latex]\large{p = {2 \over 3}n}[/latex]

2) The total value of his coins was $2.38 .

Equation #2: [latex]0.01p + 0.05n = 2.38[/latex]

Let’s now substitute the expression of [latex]p[/latex] in Equation #2 and solve for [latex]n[/latex].

0.01[(2/3)n]+0.15n=2.38 → n=42

Now that we know how many nickels there are, let’s move on and find the number of pennies as well.

p=28

We got the following values:

  • Number of Pennies: 28
  • Number of Nickels: 42

Answer: Damian had 28 pennies and 42 nickels.

This time, I’ll leave it up to you to check if both of the values we got for the number of pennies and the number of nickels are correct. You may substitute [latex]p[/latex] and [latex]n[/latex] in Equation #2 with the values and verify if indeed the amount of both coins when added, equals to $2.38.

Example 5: Aunt Sheila has $2.50 in nickels and dimes in her wallet. How many of each kind of coin does she have, if the number of dimes exceeds twice the number of nickels by 5?

We’ll first pick our variables to stand for the nickels and dimes, then examine the important details given to us in the problem.

Let’s translate each statement algebraically into an equation.

1) Aunt Sheila has $2.50 in nickels and dimes in her wallet.

Equation #1: [latex]0.05n + 0.10d = 2.50[/latex]

2) The number of dimes exceeds twice the number of nickels by 5 .

Equation #2: [latex]d=2n+5[/latex]

Since the number of dimes ([latex]d[/latex]) is already expressed in terms of the number of nickels, we can proceed in solving for [latex]n[/latex] using Equation #1.

0.05n+0.10(2n+5)=2.50 → n=8

This tells us that there are 8 nickels. Since it says that the number of dimes is 5 more than twice the number of nickels, then let’s use Equation #2 to find how many dimes Aunt Shiela has.

d=2(8)+5 → d=21

Answer: Aunt Shiela has 8 nickels and 21 dimes.

0.05(8)+0.10(21)=2.50

Example 6: I found coins worth $6.97 in my Grandpa’s drawer. Surprisingly, the number of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters are all the same. How many of each kind of coin did I find?

This problem is quite unique as it involves not just two but four kinds of coins. Since the quantity for each coin is the same as the other coins, we will select only one variable to stand for each kind. Let’s pick “[latex]c[/latex]”.

  • Let [latex]c[/latex] = number of pennies
  • Let [latex]c[/latex] = number of nickels
  • Let [latex]c[/latex] = number of dimes
  • Let [latex]c[/latex] = number of quarters

Now that we have our variable, let’s examine the information given to us closely. We are told that the coins amount to $6.97 . Since the quantity for each type of coin ([latex]c[/latex]) is the same as the others, we will multiply the value of each coin in dollars with [latex]c[/latex], add all values of the coins together then set it equal to the total value of all the coins which is $6.97. Therefore, we have

Equation: [latex]0.01c + 0.05c + 0.10c + 0.25c = 6.97[/latex]

We have covered all the important details from our problem in the equation above so we can go ahead and proceed to solve for [latex]c[/latex].

0.01c+0.05c+0.10c+0.25c=6.97 → c=17

Great! We now know that there are 17 coins for each type of coin.

Answer: There are 17 pennies , 17 nickels , 17 dimes , and 17 quarters in my Grandpa’s drawer .

The last thing that we need to do is to verify that all the coins indeed amount to $6.97.

0.01(17)+0.05(17)+0.10(17)+0.25(17)=6.97

Example 7: Mrs. Potter received $3.44 of change after paying for her groceries. The cashier gave her a total of 47 coins in pennies, nickels, and dimes. If she received the same number of pennies and nickels, how many of each coin did she receive?

Here we have a coin word problem that is packed with information – which is good! The more details are provided to us, the better. As you can see, we are given the total value of the coins, the total number of coins, and the kinds of coins.

Since Mrs. Potter received the same quantity of pennies and nickels but a different quantity of dimes; we’ll use the variable [latex]c[/latex] to stand for the number of pennies and nickels, and the variable [latex]d[/latex] to represent the number of dimes.

If you haven’t realized it yet, this problem is quite unique just like our previous example. It involves three types of coins but we’re only using two variables to represent them due to the same number of pennies and nickels.

First, we’re told that Mrs. Potter received $3.44 in pennies, nickels, and dimes . To translate this statement into an algebraic equation, it just makes sense to add the values for each type of coin together and then set it equal to $3.44.

Equation #1: [latex]0.01c + 0.05c + 0.10d = 3.44[/latex]

Next, it says that the cashier gave her a total of 47 coins in pennies, nickels, and dimes . This one is easier to translate into an equation since we just have to add the number of pennies, nickels, and dimes on the left-hand side of the equation then set it equal to 47.

Equation #2: [latex]c + c + d = 47[/latex]

At this point, Equation #1 still has two variables. So before we can proceed to find how many of each type of coin she received, we need to express the number of dimes ([latex]d[/latex]) in terms of the number of pennies and nickels ([latex]c[/latex]) first. We can do this by solving for ([latex]d[/latex]) using Equation #2.

c+c+d=47 → d=47-2c

We’ll substitute the value of [latex]d[/latex] with [latex]47 – 2c[/latex] in Equation #1 then solve for [latex]c[/latex]. In doing so, we will only be working with one variable.

0.01c+0.05c+0.10(47-2c)=3.44 → c=9

Perfect! This tells us that there were 9 pennies and 9 nickels. So now, all we have left to do is to find how many dimes there were. We already had the equation for [latex]d[/latex] which is [latex]d = 47 – 2c[/latex]. Using the value we got for [latex]c[/latex], we have

d=47-2(9) → d=29

Let’s recap:

  • Number of Pennies: 9
  • Number of Nickels: 9
  • Number of Dimes: 29

Answer: Mrs. Potter received 9 pennies , 9 nickels , and 29 dimes .

Let’s verify our answers quickly by plugging the values of [latex]c[/latex] and [latex]d[/latex], into Equation #2:

9+9+29=47

Another option also is to do your check using Equation #1.

Example 8: Mom gave the pizza delivery guy $7.88 in pennies, dimes, and quarters as a tip. She gave him 12 more quarters than pennies and 8 more dimes than quarters. Find the number of each kind of coin that she gave as a tip.

This last example is also an interesting one. Right away, we can see that we are given the total value of the coins and that the tip consists of three types of coins. The quarters are also defined in terms of the pennies while the dimes are described in terms of the quarters.

Just like in our previous examples, let’s start by selecting variables to stand for each type of coin.

Now let’s examine and translate each statement algebraically into an equation that we can solve.

1) Mom gave the pizza delivery guy $7.88 in pennies, dimes, and quarters as a tip.

Equation #1: [latex]0.01p + 0.10d + 0.25q = 7.88[/latex]

2) She gave him 12 more quarters than pennies and 8 more dimes than quarters .

We can translate this statement into two equations to show the number of quarters defined in terms of the number of pennies and the number of dimes defined in terms of the number of quarters.

Equation #2: [latex]q = p + 12[/latex]

Equation #3: [latex]d = q + 8[/latex]

At this time, the pennies are not defined in terms of any of the two coins. But since the dimes are already described in terms of the quarters and the quarters are described in terms of the pennies, it just makes sense for us to describe the number of pennies in terms of the number of quarters as well. We can do this using Equation #2.

[latex]q = p + 12[/latex] → [latex]\color{red}p = q – 12[/latex]

In doing so, both the number of dimes and pennies are defined in terms of [latex]q[/latex] making it possible for us to solve Equation #1 with only one variable. In other words, we will substitute [latex]p[/latex] and [latex]d[/latex] in Equation #1 with their respective algebraic expressions then solve for [latex]q[/latex].

0.01(q-12)+0.10(q+8)+0.25q=7.88 → q=20

Excellent! This tells us that there were 20 quarters. But since our original problem asks us to find the number for each type of coin, let’s also find out how many pennies and dimes were there, by plugging in the value of the number of quarters into Equation #3 and in the equation for the number of pennies ([latex]p[/latex]).

  • Number of Pennies:

p=q-12 → p=20-12 → p=8

  • Number of Dimes:

d=q+8 → d=20+8 → d=28

Answer: Mom gave 8 pennies , 28 dimes , and 20 quarters as a tip.

0.01(8)+0.10(28)+0.25(20)=7.88
