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

2 bills and 1 coin

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
