Question

Erica buys a package of note cards costing $1.44. She gives the cashier

$5.00. The cashier gives her her change using the least number of coins and
bills possible. How many of each coin or bill does she receive?

Answer 1

See below.... several options

Explanation:

Change is $3.56

3 dollar bills one 50 c piece one nickel one penny

(though 50 cent pieces are uncommon.....this may be 2 quarters)

[For a while , there was $ 2 bills

so it could be one 1 dollar bill and one $ 2 bill instead of three dollar bills]
