The Punched-Out Numeral (Posted on 2002-12-27) Difficulty: 5 of 5
Two women and two men entered a cafeteria and each pulled a ticket (There's a illustration, but I can't post it here... It's a rectangle with numbers from 5-100 that go by 5 cents, 10 cents, 15 cents...etc)
Anyway...

1. The four ordered the same food and had he same numeral punched out on their ticket (the retangle is the ticket).

2. Each of the four had exactly four coins.

3. The two women had the same amount of money in coins, though no denomination (value) of coin was held by both women; the two men had the same amount of money in coins, though no denominationof coin was held by both men.

4. Each of the four paid the exact amount inndicated by the numberal that was punched out on his or her ticket.

Which numeral was punched out on each ticket? NOTE: "Coins" may be pennies (1 cent), nickles (5 cents), dimes (10 cents), quarters (25 cents), half dollar (50 cents) or silver dollar.

I don't have a solution, if anyone has one, please send it to me! It's my math project and just the answer is worth 65 points!!! I will fail if I don't have the right answer!! Please~~~ (BTW, the answer is NOT 40 cents or 80 cents. My teacher checked her answer keys...)

Hmmm. We're not generally in business of doing others' homework here, and if I saw this earlier, the problem may not have been posted. It's probably too late for you anyway, given that it was delayed in voting.

Our visitors have provided a solution in the comments, that I don't see a point in copying here.
