Money - fewest number of coins and total spent
Dec 11, 2015
I am trying to create an activity where students have to make up an amount using the fewest number of coins. I want the correct layer to display when they get the amount AND the fewest number of coins correct. Any other combination will bring up a Try again layer which they have two attempts at before being shown the Incorrect layer with the correct answer.
In my example question the correct answer is £3.60 and 4 coins.
When I click on £2, £1, 50p and 10p the correct layer shows which is great as the correct number of coins is 4 BUT the correct layer is also showing when I click £1 3 times, 50p and 10p which is 5 coins in total.
The correct layer is also showing sometimes when I click the Try again button!
Any ideas?

I think I've fixed this by changing the trigger you used to access the incorrect feedback.
Thanks for getting back so quickly! It works but the Try again layer doesn't work. Maybe I need to rethink the layer display? The plan was to have the correct layer show if they get it right without having to click submit (which now works-thank you!) Any other combination would require them to click Submit which would then show the Try again option. They would then have 2 more attempts before the Incorrect layer shows. Maybe I'm just making it too complicated???
How about this version.
The user gets three attempts in total before being given the answer.
Thank you so much for your help. It works perfectly! It's a shame Storyline can't show a 0 in the hundredths column. (very useful for money activities) I know there is some Java script that apparently works but that's way above my capabilities at the moment!
