    So, you need 10 penny, 4 nickles and 7 dimes

    Lets, check it.

    According to the question,

    total coins = 21

    7 + 4 + 10 = 21

    21 = 21 ... true

    Now,

    their value should equal $1.00 = 100 cents

    Penny = 1 cent

    nickle = 5 cent

    dime = 10 cent,

    So,

    (10 * 1) + (4 * 5) + (7 * 10) = 100

    10 + 20 + 70 = 100

    100 = 100 ... true

    So, you need 10 penny, 4 nickle, and 7 dimes
