Question

You have two nickels three dimes and a quarter. Using at least one of each coin, how many different amounts of money can you make? Explain

Answer 1

2 nickels (5 cents each)
3 dimes (10 cents each)
1 quarter (25 cents)

1 nickel, 1 dime, 1 quarter
5 + 10 + 25 = 40

2 nickels, 1 dime, 1 quarter
5(2) + 10 + 25 = 45

1 nickel, 2 dimes, 1 quarter
5 + 10(2) + 25 = 50

1 nickel, 3 dimes, 1 quarter
5 + 10(3) + 25 = 60

2 nickels, 2 dimes, 1 quarter
5(2) + 10(2) + 25 = 55

2 nickels, 3 dimes, 1 quarter
5(2) + 10(3) + 25 = 65

You can make 6 different amounts.
You could also find this by multiplying however many coins you have all together.
2 * 3 * 1 = 6
