Dustin buys a slice of cherry pie costing $3.55. He gives the cashier one five-dollar bill. The cashier gives him his change using the least number of coins and bills possible. How many of each coin or bill does he receive? one-dollar bills? quarters? dimes? nickels? pennies?

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
