  1. 50 pennies

    2 quarters

    1 half dollars

    5 dimes

    10 nickels

    25 pennies and 1 quarter

    25 pennies and 5 nickels

    25 pennies, 2 dime, 1nickel

    1 quarter, 5 nickels

    1 quarter, 2 dime, 1 nickel

    3 dimes and 4 nickels

    there is a lot..but it depends on ur question..?

    do mean specifically or just the coins in general like all pennies, or nickels and dimes, quarter and nickels.. etc


  2. a bunch

  3. First let&#039;s figure without pennies.

    And some smaller numbers.

    (1 way) 0 = no coins (for 50 pennies case)

    (1 way) 5 = 1 N

    (2 ways) 10 = (1 or 0 D), rest N

    (2 ways) 15 = (1 or 0 D), rest N

    (3 ways) 20 = (2, 1, or 0 D), rest N

    (4 ways) 25 = (1 Q), or (0 Q and (2,1,0) D, rest N)

    (5 ways) 30 = (1 Q, rest N), or (0 Q, and (3,2,1,0) D, rest N)

    (6 ways) 35 = (1 Q + (1,0) D, rest N), or (0 Q + (3,2,1,0) D, rest N)

    (7 ways) 40 = (1 Q + (1,0) D rest N), or (0 Q + (4,3,2,1,0) D, rest N)

    (8 ways) 45 =  (1 Q + (2,1,0) D, rest N), or (0 Q + (4,3,2,1,0) D, rest N)

    (11 ways) 50 = (1 H) or (2 Q), or (1 Q + (2,1,0 D, rest N), or (0 Q + (5,4,3,2,1,0) D, rest N)

    With pennies, you can have any multiple of 5 pennies,

    plus one of the combinations above.

    So we add up all those numbers and get 50 ways.

    (Just as many ways as there are to leave your lover,

    according to Paul Simon.)

    That&#039;s my final answer, confirmed by computer program.
