$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

Answer:

See below.... several options

Step-by-step 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]
