I'll bite.
As a math teacher I agree. Phrasing the question with "money" is ambiguous.
That's why the important part was showing your work which the student failed to do. Depending on school policy this may be a no-credit or at most half credit answer.
The major flaw with math education is reading and writing. Very little of elementary school is spent reading, writing, and discussing. This problem is fantastic, it forces students to read, write and analyze. Especially since it's ambiguous.
If a student at that age said "Amy has more coins" and answered Amy prior I would take it.
Alternatively they could go for the formal answer of "Bobby has 4 dimes. A dime is worth 10 pennies. Bobby has 40 pennies worth."
We forget that math is about reasoning and justification, not just calculation.
Oh but you can't have my work lol... Im sorry I would of likely been one the smartest students especially in math, while also likely pissing my math teacher off more then anyone else. These days I write Latent‐Space algorithms for free, while dabbling in Quantum physics, plus conceptually with associated computer tech and security.
