I spent half of my money on an ice cream cone and still had 35 cents left in my purse.
What five coins did I have to begin with?

For 4th and 5th graders: My choices for the cone included chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream.   I also had to choose from a waffle or sugar cone.  And I had to choose a topping - sprinkles, nuts, or m&m's.  How many different combinations of cones could I have chosen?
