q=quarters d=dimes n=nickels
this is a misleading question as it implys that their are more than 1 coin of each to make 50 cents and you cant have 2q and d or n to get 50 when 2q=50
so the only 2 possibilities with atleast 1 coin of each are:
1q+1d+3n=50
1q+2d+1n=50
.
if it can be any coin combo then the other possibilities are:
2q
5d
10n
1q+5n
1d+8n
2d+6n
3d+4n
4d+2n
thats 6 more possibilities which makes a total of 10 possibilities but it depends on what the question wants.
goodluck
