The most useful next step is to trade in each remaining $100 bill for $10 bills and try to divide those.
Explanation: Trading the $100 bills for $10 bills allows for easier division because the denominations are smaller and can actually be divided among more people or into more parts. The other options either don’t facilitate division or don’t change the number of bills effectively for what you are trying to accomplish.
Correct Answer: 3. Trade in each remaining $100 bill for $10 bills and try to divide those.
Explanation: After giving each charity $100, you are left with $314 ($814 – $500). To continue dividing the remaining amount equally, the most logical step is to trade the $300 into $10 bills, making it easier to distribute equally among 5 charities.
