Money in the bank
The story
Four American students, Carl, Connie, Cliff and Coral all had lots and lots of coins in their piggy banks. They had 250, 225, 200 and 190 quarters. They had 1200, 1100, 1000 and 900 dimes in their banks. They had 2000, 1800, 1750 and 1600 nickels. They had 9000, 8700, 8300 and 8000 pennies in their banks. Based on the clues, match the names with the amount of quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies they had in their piggy banks.

Carl and Connie had a combined total of $230.00 worth of dimes in their banks. 4. Connie and Cliff had a combined total of $190.00 worth of nickels in their banks. 5. If you added Connie’s nickels and Cliff’s pennies together you would have $170.00. 6. Carl had both more dimes and more pennies in his bank than Connie had in her piggy bank. 7. If you added together Cliff’s quarters and dimes he would have $150.00 and, of course, Carl did not have the fewest nickels.
