Start with zero nickels, and see what the combinations are: There is only 1 combination, which is 3 dimes and 1 quarter.
Next use only 1 nickel, then you have: 2 quarters & 1 nickel, or 5 dimes & 1 nickel, so that's 2 additional combinations.
Keep going with only 3 nickels, etc, till you get to 11 nickels = 55 cents. Note that there is no way to do it with only 8 or 10 nickels.

There are sixteen different ways.
Six.
2 quarters & 2 nickels.
To find the number of ways to make 33 cents using pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters, we can use a systematic approach. We can start by considering the maximum number of quarters that can be used, which is 1 (as 2 quarters would exceed 33 cents). Then, we can calculate the remaining amount after using 1 quarter (33 - 25 = 8 cents) and determine the combinations of nickels, dimes, and pennies that can make up the remaining amount. By considering all possible combinations, we can find the total number of ways to make 33 cents using these coins.
