2 TBT

[Haskell]

Answer This! First person to get it right gets 2 TBT. It's just something I found interesting. I figured it out in a minute. If you attempt, tell me how long it took you. xD

Sarah has at least one quarter, one dime, one nickel, and one penny. If she has three times as many pennies as nickels, the same number of nickels as dimes, and twice as many dimes as quarters, what is the least amount of money she could have?

 

[Trixster68]

54 cents?

 

[Haskell]

I'm afraid that is close but is not the correct answer.

61 cents?

 

[xenoblade]

62 cents

 

[moonford]

I got 62 cents as well.

Hm. I got this from a study preparation test and that is not one of the answers. The possible answers are.

41 Cents
48 Cents
58 Cents
61 Cents
71 Cents

61 cents?

I checked back and re-did that math, et cetera and I think you might be right.

6 pennies - 6 cents
1 Quarter - 25 Cents
2 Dimes - 20 Cents
2 Nickels - 10 Cents

It also keeps all the rules. Three times as many pennies as nickels, same number of nickels and dimes, twice as many dimes as quarters.

I posted 61 So was that the right answer?

 

[Haskell]

I think so. Anyone want to prove it wrong? haha

 

[UglyMonsterFace]

Yay! Thank you for the bells lol. I honestly just wanted to see if I could solve it. With two people saying 62, I honestly thought I did something wrong haha.

I recalculated it and its 61, I added on a number for literally no reason! XD

Good job Arize.
