Question

PAULA BROUGHT $39.63 WORTH OF GROCERIES SHE GAVE TELLER TWO TWENTY DOLLARS BILLS WHAT IS THE FEWEST COIN SHE CAN GET IN CHANGE

Answer 1

Answer:

4 coins

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find out how much she gave the teller:

2($20)=$40

Now, let's find out how much change the teller owes her:

$40.00-$39.63=$0.37 or 37 cents

The largest coin (under 37 cents), is a quarter which is worth 25 cents...

37-25=12 cents

The largest coin (under 12 cents), is a dime which is worth 10 cents...

12-10=2

The largest coin (under 2 cents), is a penny which is worth 1 cent...

2-1=1

And one more penny...

1-1=0

Therefore the fewest amount of coins she can get in change are a quarter, a dime, and two pennies, which is 4 coins.

Answer 2

4 coins
(One quarter, a dime, 2 pennies)
