Answer 1

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
    int quarters;   // Number of quarters, to be input by the user.
    int dimes;      // Number of dimes, to be input by the user.
    int nickels;    // Number of nickels, to be input by the user.
    int pennies;    // Number of pennies, to be input by the user. 
    
    double dollars; // Total value of all the coins, in dollars.
      
    /* Ask the user for the number of each type of coin. */
    
    cout << "Enter the number of quarters:  ";
    cin >> quarters;
    cout << "Enter the number of dimes:  ";
    cin >> dimes;
    cout << "Enter the number of nickels:  ";
    cin >> nickels;
    cout << "Enter the number of pennies:  ";
    cin >> pennies;
    
    /* Add up the values of the coins, in dollars. */
    dollars = (0.25 * quarters) + (0.10 * dimes) 
                          + (0.05 * nickels) + (0.01 * pennies); 
    cout << "The total in dollars is $\n";
    cout << dollars << " dolllars";
    return 0;
