Cindy buys a box of dog biscuits costing $1.66. She gives the cashier $5.00. The cashier gives her her change using the least number of coins and bills possible. How many of each coin or bill does she receive?
one-dollar bills
quarters
dimes
nickels
pennies
Cindy’s total change is calculated as follows:
1. Total Cost: $1.66
2. Amount Given: $5.00
3. Change Due: $5.00 – $1.66 = $3.34
Now, let’s find the change using the least number of coins and bills:
– Start with the highest denomination:
– Three one-dollar bills: $3.00 from $3.34
– This leaves us with:
– Change left: $3.34 – $3.00 = $0.34
– Next, use quarters:
– One quarter: $0.25 from $0.34
– Change left:
– $0.34 – $0.25 = $0.09
– Now, use dimes:
– Zero dimes (since 0.09 is less than 0.10).
– Next, use nickels:
– One nickel: $0.05
– Change left:
– $0.09 – $0.05 = $0.04
– Finally, use pennies:
– Four pennies: $0.04
Putting it all together, Cindy’s change is:
– Three one-dollar bills: 3
– One quarter: 1
– Zero dimes
