                  Jennifer and Hiroshi want to put their money
                  together to buy a present for their parents.
                  Before they open their piggy banks, they
                  decide to figure out how much money they
                  have. Here is what they know:
      Jennifer has 11 coins.
      Hiroshi has 6 coins.
      Jennifer has more than $1.
      Hiroshi’s coins are worth half as much as Jennifer’s.

One answer:
Jennifer: Q, Q, D, D, D, D, D, N, N, P, P = $1.12
Hiroshi: Q, D, D, N, N, P = $0.56


Try this:
$1.12 + $.56 = $1.68
$1.68 x 3 = $5.04
$5.04 - $4.92 = $.12 change
