    1. Quizzma Team

      To determine how much change Dustin should receive, we first calculate the total change he gets after purchasing the pie.

      1. Total Cost of Pie: $3.55
      2. Amount Given: $5.00
      3. Change Due: $5.00 – $3.55 = $1.45

      Now, let’s break down the change of $1.45 using the least amount of coins and bills possible:

      – One-Dollar Bills: 1 (This covers $1.00 of the total change.)

      Now we have:

      – Remaining Change: $1.45 – $1.00 = $0.45

      Next, we can use coins to make up $0.45:

      – Quarters: 1 (A quarter is worth $0.25.)

      Now we have:

      – Remaining Change: $0.45 – $0.25 = $0.20

      Next:

      – Dimes: 2 (Two dimes make $0.20.)

      Now we have:

      – Remaining Change: $0.20 – $0.20 = $0.00

      So, Dustin received:

      – One-Dollar Bills: 1

      – Quarters: 1

      – Dimes: 2

      – Nickels: 0

      – Pennies: 0

      In summary, Dustin receives:

      – 1 one-dollar bill
