There are 8072 cents between the greatest and least amount Ricardo could have according to the scenario described.

Total number of coins = 2020

The least amount possible :

  • 2019 pennies and 1 nickel

  • 2019(1) + 5 = 2024 cents

The greatest amount possible :

  • 2019 nickels and 1 penny

  • 2019(5) + 1 = 10096 cents

The difference between the greatest and least amount possible :

  • Greatest amount - Least amount

  • 10096 cents - 2024 cents

Therefore, the difference between the greatest and least amount possible is 8072 cents.
