Question

Shirley picked out a lite for $3.50 if she gave the family ten-dollar bill what is the fewest number of bills and coins that she could receive as change

Answer 1

Answer:

2 bills and 1 coin

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Lite = \ 3.50$

Required

Fewest number of bills and coins she can get receive as change

FIrst, we need to calculate her change

Change = Amount Paid - Lite

$Change = \ 10 - \ 3.5$

$Change = \ 6.5$

Next is to split the change to bills and coins

$\ 6.5 = \ 5\ bill + \ 1\ bill + 50 cents$

The $5 and $1 makes 2 bills while the 50 cents makes 1 coin.

Hence, the minimum she could receive is  2 dollar bills and 1 coin as change
