(1) If you have 3 quarters, that is the whole 75 cents, so there is only 1 way with 3 quarters.

(2) If you have 2 quarters, that makes 50 cents; you need 25 cents more. You can use 0, 1, or 2 dimes with the rest being made up with nickels. So there are 3 ways with 2 quarters.

(3) If you have 1 quarter, that is 25 cents; you need 50 cents more. You can use as few as 0 and as many as 5 dimes.

(4) If you have no quarters, then you need to make the 75 cents with only dimes an nickels; the number of dimes you can use is anywhere from 0 to 7.

You should have a total of 18 ways; you can make the list....
