Answer:

A combination of 9 bills and 5 coins is the least number of bills and coins.

Step-by-step explanation:

A customer has six (6) $1 bills, three (3) $5 bills, four (4) $10 bills, seven (7) quarters, ten (10) dimes, seven (7) nickels, and nine (9) pennies.

1 quarter = $0.25

1 dime = $0.10

1 penny = $0.01

1 nickel = $0.05

The customer buys a pair of shoes for $49.86.

So, we can split this as following:

49 can be split as 40+9

So,4\times10 bills =$40

1\times5 bill = $5

4\times1 bill = $4

Total is $49 made from 9 bills.

For the decimal part, we can split as :

3\times0.25 quarters = $0.75

1\times0.10 dime = $0.10

1\times0.01 penny = $0.01

Total becomes = $0.86 from 5 coins.

Hence, a combination of 9 bills and 5 coins is the least number of bills and coins the customer can give the cashier in order to buy the shoes for the exact amount and not require any change back.

alexira [117]
We know that the diameter of the inner circle (d) and the side of a regular octagon (s) are tied by the formula:

d = (1 +√2) × s

The inverse formula is:

s = d / <span>(1 +√2)

Plugging in numbers:
s = 7 (1 + </span>√2)
   = 2.9 ft

Therefore the correct answer is A) <span>2.9 feet</span>
