What should go in place of the
question marks in the figure below?
| Solution: The letters "P", "N", "D", and "Q" represent coins (Penny, Nickel, Dime, and Quarter). Numbers preceding a letter tell how many of that coin type to count (ex. "N3P" is a Nickel and 3 Pennies: 8 cents). The total value of the coins in each group are 8, 16, 24, ?, 40, 48. The missing value is 32 cents, so the missing letters are "QN". |
