We can quickly get the answer by eliminating four of the answer choices
(A) $31 = 2($5) + 3($7). ELIMINATE A
(B) $29 = 3($5) + 2($7). ELIMINATE B
(C) $26 = 1($5) + 3($7). ELIMINATE C
(D) $23 =
(E) $21 = 3($7). ELIMINATE E
Answer: D

Does anyone know the answer to the question of why use chips of precisely this denomination?
