p=1 cent nickle= 5 cents d=10 cents q=25 cents

p+n+d+q= .41

.41+.41+.41.41=$1.64 so we can only have 4 of each piece

What is the total amount of money less the $2.00 Using these coins if they all have to be the same.

You may use this equation since you already found how many coins of each value...

0.01P+0.05N+0.10D+0.25Q

Just substitute the quantity for each coin..in this case 4 for each
