Possible coins in grandfather's pocket include : nickel, dime, quarter

A nickel = 5 cents

A dime = 10 cents

A quarter = 25 cents

First combination= nickel+dime+quarter+quarter

Second combination=nickel+quarter+quarter+quarter=

Third combination= dime+quarter+quarter+quarter

Third combination=quarter+quarter+quarter+quarter

4th combination = nickel + nickel+dime+quarter

5th combination= nickel +nickel+nickel+dime

6th combination =nickel+nickel+nickel+quarter

7th combination= nickel + nickel + nickel +nickel

8th combination = dime + dime +quarter +nickel

9th combination = dime +dime+dime+quarter

10th combination =dime+dime+dime+nickel

If Grandpa offers to give you the coins if you are able to guess the amount within ten cents, then all coins are below ten cents and all coins are nickels = 4 nickels ×5 = 20 cents
