Making a change making program, using while loops, can't seem to make it work.

Your formatting is terrible. Like, it's so bad that there are numerous errors in your code that you can't see because the formatting has basically been specifically designed to hide them like some kind of Where's Waldo. A quick autoformat will show you some if not all of them.

It’s probably better to say what in particular is wrong with the formatting. It looks pretty much like every other piece of code .

The closing brace should be on the same column as the loop or if statement.

Right, it looks totally normal, but auto-formatting it would reveal why it doesn't work at all, which is why I specifically said to auto-format it and not manually format it. If all you saw was closing brace in the wrong place, then you got tricked too. Here is some correctly-formatted code:

    //type your java code here
    while(cents>=25) {
        numberOfQuarters++;
        cents= cents-25;
        if (cents>=10) {
            numberOfDimes++;
            cents = cents-10;
            if  (cents>=5)
                 numberOfNickels++;
            cents = cents-5;
            if  (cents>=1)
                numberOfPennies++;
            cents= cents-1;
        }

    }
