Thank you. I was not thinking this is a very easy question. I have an answer. Yes it is homework I have to write a program to do this. So I am still doing the coding my self I just needed a while to get the brain in gear.

I would start by using modulo arithmetic on the number of cents in each 
coin to determine the number, then subtract the value as you go, ending up 
with pennies.

Good luck on your homework.
