Jared can achieve any amount from 1 cent to 19 cents: 1 to 4 cents using the pennies, 5 cents with the nickel, 6 to 9 cents using the nickel along with the pennies, 10 cents using the dime, 11 to 14 cents using the dime along with the pennies, 15 cents using the dime and the nickel, and 16 to 19 cents using the dime and nickel along with the pennies. Notice that 19 cents requires every coin Jared possesses, meaning that 19 is the largest possible value. That makes 19 possible values. Therefore, Quantity B is greater.
