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

To find out how much change Cindy receives, we first subtract the cost of the dog biscuits from the amount she gave to the cashier:

$5.00 – $1.66 = $3.34

Now, we will break down the change of $3.34 using the least number of coins and bills possible:

1. One-dollar bills: The largest denomination less than $3.34 is $3.00, which means she gets 3 one-dollar bills.
2. Remaining amount after taking out the three one-dollar bills:

$3.34 – $3.00 = $0.34
3. Quarters: The largest coin less than 34 cents is 25 cents (1 quarter).

$0.34 – $0.25 = $0.09
4. Dimes: The largest coin less than 9 cents is 0 (since 10 cents is too much), so we use 0 dimes.

Remaining amount: $0.09
5. Nickels: The largest coin less than 9 cents is 5 cents (1 nickel).

$0.09 – $0.05 = $0.04
6. Pennies: The remainder is 4 cents, so she would get 4 pennies.

Now let’s summarize:

– One-dollar bills: 3

– Quarters: 1
