To find the number of ways to use a dime, quarter, and nickel to make 60 cents, we can break it down into different cases and count the possibilities.
Case 1: Using a dime
Since we have a dime, we need to make 50 cents using quarters and nickels. Let's consider the number of quarters we can use from 0 to 2:
- No quarters: We can only use nickels. There is one possibility in this case where we use 10 nickels.
- One quarter: We can use nickels from 0 to 5. So, there are 6 possibilities in this case.
- Two quarters: In this case, we can only use nickels or no nickels. There are 3 possibilities: using 0, 1, or 2 nickels.
Case 2: Not using a dime
Since we do not have a dime, we need to make 60 cents using quarters and nickels. Similarly, we consider the number of quarters we can use from 0 to 2:
- No quarters: We can only use nickels. There is one possibility in this case where we use 12 nickels.
- One quarter: We can use nickels from 0 to 10. So, there are 11 possibilities in this case.
- Two quarters: In this case, we can use nickels from 0 to 5. There are 6 possibilities in this case.
Adding up the possibilities from both cases, we get the total number of ways we can use a dime, quarter, and nickel to make 60 cents. In this case, it is (1 + 6 + 3) + (1 + 11 + 6) = 28.
So, there are 28 ways to use a dime, quarter, and nickel to make 60 cents.
