Lexi buys a rolling pin costing $4.13. 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 Lexi receives, we first need to calculate the total amount of change from her purchase.

1. Cost of the rolling pin: $4.13
2. Amount given to cashier: $5.00

Now, subtract the cost from the amount given:

$5.00 – $4.13 = $0.87

So, Lexi’s change is $0.87.

Next, let’s break down $0.87 using the least number of coins and bills:

– One-dollar bills: 0 (since $0.87 is less than $1.00)

– Quarters: The largest coin under $0.87 is $0.25.
– 3 quarters = $0.75 (this is the maximum without exceeding $0.87).

– Remaining amount after using 3 quarters:

$0.87 – $0.75 = $0.12

– Dimes: The largest coin usable for the remaining amount is $0.10.
– 1 dime = $0.10

– Remaining amount after using 1 dime:

$0.12 – $0.10 = $0.02

– Pennies: 2 pennies = $0.02

So Lexi receives:

– One-dollar bills: 0

– Quarters: 3
