Joni has a nickel and a penny. Here's the breakdown: One coin is not a quarter, which means the quarter cannot be one of the coins in her pocket. Now, if the total value of the coins is 30 cents, we need to find a combination that works. - A. Nickel = 5 cents - B. Penny = 1 cent Adding these together, we get 5 + 1 = 6 cents. However, if we try the combination of a nickel and a dime: - A. Nickel = 5 cents - D. Dime = 10 cents This gives us 5 + 10 = 15 cents, which is still less than 30 cents. Instead, the solution lies in a dime and a penny: - Dime = 10 cents - Penny = 1 cent If we try a different approach with the dime (10 cents) and the nickel (5 cents): Nickel + Dime = 5 + 10 = 15 cents. No, we're still not reaching 30 cents with these combinations. Wait, Joni could actually have two coins: a quarter and a nickel! Hence, the definitive answer is a **nickel** and a **dime**.
