the cashier owed Dan 10.45 because 100-76.45=24 and 24-13.55=10.45.

To solve this problem, first we need to figure out how much change Dan should have received. To do this, we should subtract $76.45 from $100.

$100 - $76.45 = $23.55

This means that Dan should have received $23.55 in change from the cashier but only received $13.55. To find out how much more the cashier owes Dan, we must subtract $13.55 from $23.55.

$23.55 - $13.55 = $10.00

Therefore, the cashier owes Dan $10 more in change.

Hope this helps!
