Buying a Toy 1

The Ministry is migrating nzmaths content to Tāhurangi.           
Relevant and up-to-date teaching resources are being moved to Tāhūrangi (tahurangi.education.govt.nz). 
When all identified resources have been successfully moved, this website will close. We expect this to be in June 2024. 
e-ako maths, e-ako Pāngarau, and e-ako PLD 360 will continue to be available.

I wanted to buy a toy. I had four identical coins but these were not enough to pay for what I wanted, so I gave the shopkeeper a $10 note. He gave me $1 change. If I had had that coin before I could have paid the exact amount.

What were the coins I had before I bought the toy?
