Hi guys, here is the question that needs to be answered without the help of VBA:

Michelle went to the store with a $5 bill. She spent $2.70. The currency denominations are restricted to the following: Notes $2 and $1, and coins 50 cents, 20 cents and 10 cents.

(a) List the possible ways she could get her change. How many ways are there?

(b) List the ways that use the least number of coins.

(c) List the ways that use the least number of both notes and coins
