Would you be richer if you had a bucket of nickels or half a bucket of dimes?

You would be richer with the 1/2 bucket of dimes... Not only because they are worth twice as much, but mainly because they are smaller and it would take a larger # of them to fill the bucket 1/2 way.

Incorrect: 1 half-dollar, 1 quarter, 2 dimes, 1 nickel, and 4 pennies.

If you have fifty coins which have a total value of one dollar what are the coins and how many of each do you have?
There are two possible solutions: You could have one quarter, two dimes, two nickels and forty-five pennies, or you could have two dimes, eight nickels and forty pennies. An easy way of approaching this problem is to start by imagining that you have fifty pennies. You have the right number of coins, but are fifty cents short. Instead of adding other coins, you replace pennies with them: replacing a penny with a nickel gains four cents, a dime gains nine, and a quarter gains twenty-four. You can't possibly use more than two quarters, so there are few cases to consider there: If you replace two pennies with quarters, you've gained forty-eight cents, so you only need two more; but any further replacement will give you too much. If you use one quarter, you need to make up twenty-six more cents in steps of four or nine; it's easy to see that two of each works. Finally, with no quarters, you need to gain fifty cents using increments of four or nine; this yields the second solution.

How do you get 55 cents from 2 coins if 1 can't be a nickel?
There are 2 ways of answering it, first is this is usually some form of a "trick question" where the answer is, "a half dollar and a nickel, because the half isn't a nickel". However, a more technical answer would be that you would have one half dollar and one half-dime (half dimes were minted from 1792-1873, they were small 90% silver coins half the weight of a dime, the nickel is much larger and started being minted in 1866 and is 75% copper and 25% nickel)

How do you show 2 different possible combinations of dimes and nickels that would total 27.75?
There must be at least one nickel, to account for the 5 cents of the 75 cents. So, one solution would be 1 nickel and 277 dimes. This would be (277 x 0.10) + 0.05 = 27.70 + 0.05 = 27.75 Another solution would be 1 dime and 553 nickels. This would be (553 x 0.05) + 0.10 = 27.65 + 0.10 = 27.75 You will have an odd number of nickels in an solution. Possible solutions include 1 nickel & 277 dimes 3 nickels & 276 dimes 5 nickels & 275 dimes 7 nickels & 274 dimes 9 nickels & 273 dimes up to 553 nickels and 1 dime
