Question

Which of the following sets of coins is arranged in the increasing order of their value and also shows an amount closest to the value of the given coin?

Answer 1

The given coin is a dollar, whose value is $100¢.$

Option A shows a nickel and a quarter. The value of a nickel is $5¢$ and the value of a quarter is $25¢.$ So, the total value of the coins shown in Option A is $5+25=30¢.$

Option B shows a half-dollar coin and a quarter. The value of a half-dollar coin is $50¢.$ So, the total value of the coins shown in Option B is $50+25=75¢.$

Option C shows a half-dollar coin and a nickel. So, the total value of the coins shown in Option C is $50+5=55¢.$

Option D shows a quarter and a half-dollar coin. So, the total value of the coins shown in Option D is $25+50=75¢.$

Therefore, we can conclude that though both Option B and D show an amount closest to a dollar coin, only Option D has the correct arrangement of coins in the increasing order of their value.

Hence, Option D is correct.
