['The problem is to compare the amounts of money shown in each set of coins using the symbols <, >, or =.', 'For each set of coins, calculate the total amount in cents.', 'Compare the two amounts and use the appropriate symbol to show the relationship between them.', 'The first set has 1 quarter (25¢) and 1 dime (10¢) on the left, totaling 35¢, and 2 dimes (20¢) and 1 nickel (5¢) on the right, totaling 25¢. Since 35¢ > 25¢, the symbol is >.', 'The second set has 1 half dollar (50¢) and 1 dime (10¢) on the left, totaling 60¢, and 2 quarters (50¢) and 1 nickel (5¢) on the right, totaling 55¢. Since 60¢ > 55¢, the symbol is >.', 'The third set has 2 quarters (50¢) and 1 dime (10¢) on the left, totaling 60¢, and 1 half dollar (50¢) and 2 dimes (20¢) on the right, totaling 70¢. Since 60¢ < 70¢, the symbol is <.', 'The fourth set has 1 quarter (25¢) and 1 dime (10¢) on the left, totaling 35¢, and 3 dimes (30¢) and 1 nickel (5¢) on the right, totaling 35¢. Since 35¢ = 35¢, the symbol is =.']
