There are 44 different ways to make 40 cents using dimes, nickels, and pennies. This can be found using the formula:
Number of ways to make change = (Number of coins of 1 type x Number of coins of 2nd type x Number of coins of 3rd type)
For 40 cents with dimes, nickels, and pennies this would be (4 dimes x 8 nickels x 20 pennies) = 640 different ways.
However, 400 of these possible combinations include more than 40 cents worth of coins. When you subtract 400 from 640, you are left with 44 different ways to make 40 cents.
