2024 CEMC Gauss (Grade 8) Problems/Problem 1

Problem

How many $5$ cent coins are needed to make $25$ cents?

$\textbf{(A)}\ 1 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 2 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 3 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 4 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 5$

Solution

We want to see how many times $5$ cents would go into $25$ cents. Since $5 \times 5 = 25$, we know that $5$ coins are needed to make $25$ cents.

Thus, the answer is $\boxed {\textbf {(E) } 5}$.
