Answer 4

3.75 + .25 +.05 = 4.05
16 quarters and 1 nickel
4.05 + .25 + .05 =4.35
17 quarters and 2 nickels
4.35 + .25 + 0.05 = 4.65
18 quarters and 3 nickels
4.65 + 0.25 + 0.05 = 4.95
19 quarters and 4 nickels
4.95 + 0.25 + 0.05 = 5.25
20 quarters and 5 nickels
5.25 + 0.25 + 0.05 = 5.55
21 quarters and 6 nickels
5.55 + 0.25 + 0.05 = 5.85
22 quarters and 7 nickels
5.85 + 0.25 + 0.05 = 6.15
23 quarters and 8 nickels
6.15 + 0.25 + 0.05 = 6.45
24 quarters and 9 nickels
6.45 + 0.25 + 0.05 = 6.75
25 quarters and 10 nickles
6.75 + 0.25 + 0.05 = 7.05
26 quarters and 11 nickles
