Assuming I can use nickels and/or dimes my formula looks like this:
10x + 5y = 50
We can put this into slope intercept form as follows:
y = -2x +10 where both x and y must be ≥ 0 (can't have negative coins)
The line segment so described starts at point (0,10) [zero dimes, 10 nickels] and runs through 4 other points, ending at (5,0) [5 dimes, zero nickels].
Alternatively, I could make a chart by using different values for x and solving for y:
x y
0 10
1 8
2 6
3 4
4 2
5 0
Either way, the answer is 6 permutations or ways to make 50 cents with dimes and/or nickels.
Note: If the problem required that both nickels and dimes always be used, then there are only 4 soultions.
