Answer:

Patsy had twonies, $5, $10 and $20 bills, and paid exactly $71 for her new dress. How did she do it, using the least possible number of coins and bills?

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>To pay using the smallest number of bills and coins you have to start with the greater amount that is</em> $ 20 x 3 bills = $ 60 + $ 10 x 1 bill = $ 70 + $ 2 x 1 bill = $ 72, <em>and you were returned</em> 1 $.
