What is the largest amount of money you can have in change so that you are unable to make change for a dollar bill? (The answer is MORE than a dollar!)
Solution
Take three quarters, four dimes, and four pennies, and you can come close to a dollar (99 cents or $1.05), but you can’t get it exactly. The total amount is $1.19.
One quarter, nine dimes, and four pennies works too.
