the number there are.? I am working on a science olympiad project in which we need to use a robot in order to pick up some coins. They may give us any number of coins, but the total amount of the coins will be 40 cents. I started listing all of the combinations, but I'm sure there is a mathematical way to do it since listing them takes a really long time. If somebody knows the mathematical way to solve this but does not feel like figuring it out, just let me know how I might go about solving it and I should be able to do it.

Thanks
