Question

Your local Publixsupermarket is reprogramming their cash registersand you are their software developer. The machine will output the amount of change that must be given to the customerbroken down into each coin. Write a program that asks the user to entertheir name as well as theamount of change in CENTS. The program shouldthenoutput the amount of half dollars,quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies to be returned to the customer (in that order) to arrive at the total amount of change inputted by the customer.

Answer 1

Answer:

name = input("Enter name: ")

change = float(input("Enter change in cents: "))

half_dollars = int(change / 50)

change %= 50

quarters = int(change / 25)

change %= 25

dimes = int(change / 10)

change %= 10

nickels = int(change / 5)

change %= 5

pennies = int(change)

print("Half dollars: " + str(half_dollars) + ", Quarters: " + str(quarters) + ", Dimes: " + str(dimes) + ", Nickels: " + str(nickels) + ", Pennies: " + str(pennies))

Explanation:

*The code is in Python.

Ask the user to enter the name and change in cents

Calculate the number of half dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, use division and modulo operator

Print the results

Let me demonstrate calculating the half_dollars:

Let's say the user enter 134 for the change.

half_dollars = int(change / 50) → int(134/50) → int(2.68) = 2

change %= 50 (same as change = change % 50) → 134 % 50 → 34
