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

Respuesta :

Answer:

2 bills and 1 coin

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Lite = \$3.50[/tex]

Required

Fewest number of bills and coins she can get receive as change

FIrst, we need to calculate her change

Change = Amount Paid - Lite

[tex]Change = \$10 - \$3.5[/tex]

[tex]Change = \$6.5[/tex]

Next is to split the change to bills and coins

[tex]\$6.5 = \$5\ bill + \$1\ bill + 50 cents[/tex]

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
