Question

Rayna purchases $27.79 worth of merchandise. List Rayna's change from$30.00 using the smallest number of coins and bills?

Answer 1

We are told that Rayna made a $27.79 purchase. the change for $30.00 is the difference between the two quantities, that is:

$30.00-27.79=2.21$

Therefore, the change must be $2.21.

The change can be made using the following coins and bills:

$\begin{gathered} 2\text{ one dollar bill} \\ 2\text{ ten cents coins (dimes)} \\ 1\text{ one cent coin (penny)} \end{gathered}$
