To calculate the number of different amounts of money you can pay using any combinations of the given coins, you can employ a systematic approach.
First, let's list the possible coin combinations for each coin individually:
Penny: You can have 0 pennies or 1 penny.
Nickel: You can have 0 nickels, 1 nickel, or 2 nickels.
Dime: You can have 0 dimes, 1 dime, 2 dimes, 3 dimes, or 4 dimes.
Quarter: You can have 0 quarters, 1 quarter, 2 quarters, 3 quarters, or 4 quarters.
Loonie: You can have 0 loonies or 1 loonie.
Now, let's consider all possible combinations of these coins. You can multiply the number of options together for each coin to find the total number of combinations. Since each coin has a different set of options, you multiply them together to get the total number of possible combinations:
Number of combinations = (number of penny options) * (number of nickel options) * (number of dime options) * (number of quarter options) * (number of loonie options)
In this case, it would be:
Number of combinations = 2 * 3 * 5 * 5 * 2
Now, let's calculate the total number of combinations:
Number of combinations = 2 * 3 * 5 * 5 * 2 = 300
Therefore, you can pay using different combinations of these coins in 300 different ways.
