Re TY: Recommend to just try your very best to keep it simple.
This problem a good example.
We don't want the nickels( Dimes in the 2nd part)..so just don't make them part of the choices
............
16coins: 5Q, 3N,2D,6P
How many sets of 5 coins include 2 quarters and no nickels %285C2%29%288C3%29
How many sets of 6 coins include at least 1 dime
All choices - choices with NO dimes = 16C6+-+14C6
