Robert has 12 coins totaling $1.45. None of his coins is larger than a quarter. Which of

the following cannot be the number of quarters he has?

Verified Answer :


The correct answer is 1 because
coin • number = total value.
When
p = the number of pennies,
      n = the number
of nickels,
      d = the number
of dimes,
      q = the number
of quarters.
The total number of coins = p+ n+ d+ q = 12.
But if q = 1 then p+ n+ d = 11
