You can put this solution on YOUR website!
d = dime
n = nickel
p = penny
------------
ddd
ddn
dnn
-------
nnn
nnp
npp
-------
ppp
ppd
---------
that's 8 -here's the rest:
pdd
--------
pnd
--------
Notice that the order doesn't matter, so
dpd = pdd
That's because they said "combinations',
which means order doesn't matter
