No 1 2,3,4, or 5 of those coins add up to the same value as any other 1,2,3,4, or 5, so every combination of coins gives a different value. There are two choices we can make for each coin. They are: 1. Use it to form a value. 2. Do not use it to form a value. There are 2 choices to make for the 5 cent coin. (Use it or don't). There are 2 choices to make for the 10 cent coin. There are 2 choices to make for the 20 cent coin. There are 2 choices to make for the 50 cent coin. Therefore there are 2×2×2×2 = 24 = 16 different values. However that includes the value 0, in which case we do not use any coins. So we exclude the value 0 from the 16: Answer = 15 values (not counting 0 cents). These values are every multiple of 5 cents from 5 cents through 85 cents, EXCEPT there is no way to have 40 cents or 45 cents. Edwin
