However the question isn't correctly written. It's a actually brain teaser that asks, "Can you make 55 cents using two coins if one of them is not a nickel?" The answer of course is a half dollar and a nickel - the half dollar is the coin that's not a nickel!
To make 48 cents using 14 coins, you can use a combination of pennies, nickels, and dimes. One possible solution is 8 pennies (8 cents), 4 dimes (40 cents), and 2 nickels (10 cents), totaling 14 coins. However, to reach exactly 48 cents, you can also use 10 pennies (10 cents) and 2 dimes (20 cents), combined with 2 nickels (10 cents) and 2 more pennies, still totaling 14 coins.
