The coins we know are:
Let x denote the number of pennies, y denote the number of nickels, z denote the number of dimes and w denote the number of quarter.
We can set up the expression this way:
x + 5y + 10z + 25w = 14
But since we want to make 14 cents, quarters are not considered to be the part of the combination, so we write:
x + 5y + 10z = 14
There is no quick way to work out this problem. All you need to do is to work by trials.
So there are 4 ways to form 14 cents.

A nickel is 5 cents. 70/5 = 14
There are an infinite number of ways to get -14

14 dimes is equivalent to $1.40. This calculation is derived from the fact that each dime is worth 10 cents, so when you have 14 dimes, you are essentially adding 10 cents together 14 times, resulting in a total of $1.40.
To find the number of ways to add numbers to get 14, we can use the concept of partitions. In this case, we are looking for the number of ways to partition the number 14. There are 15 partitions of 14, including the trivial partition of 14 itself. Some examples of partitions of 14 include 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1, 2+2+2+2+2+2+2, and 5+4+3+2.
