Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -There are two answers, and possibly a third. One is by face value: 4 quarters, 3 dimes, 2 nickels, and 2 pennies is $1.42, of which 30 cents are dimes.
Detailed explanation-2: -How many dimes make $2? 10=2 (or more intuitively, 2 dimes are worth $0.20). You need ten times as many, or 20 dimes, to make $2.00. You need ten times as many as that, or 200, to make $20.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: Six coins: 3 quarters + 2 dimes + 1 nickel = 1 dollar.
