You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you must use one of each, then what you're really looking for is combinations that equal 35 cents (.75 - .25 - .10 -.05)
Possible combinations are 1 each of a quarter, dime, and nickel PLUS:
1 quarter, 1 dime
1 quarter, 2 nickels
3 dimes, 1 nickel
2 dimes, 3 nickels
1 dime, 5 nickels
7 nickels
(don't forget to add in the initial quarter, dime, and nickel)
