I couldn't figure out how to use a combination Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! nCr=Combination of n things taken r at a time.
1C1*8C2=28 One quarter and any other 2 of the other 8 coins.
3C2*5C1=3*5=15 Two dimes and one nickel.
3C3=1 Three dimes
28+16+1=44
