Question

suppose you have 1 five dollar bill, 4 one-dollar bills, 3 quarters, 3 dimes, 2 nickels, and 3 pennies in your pocket and list THREE different ways you could pay for a purchase of $4.52​

Answer 1

1. 4 ones, 2 quarters, and 2 pennies

2. 4 ones, 1 quarter, 2 dimes, 1 nickel, and 2 pennies

3. 1 five dollar bill

Explanation:

The first 2 examples are exact but the third one is not because there are not 3 possible exact solutions. This trick for these is to remember that one dollar is 100 cents so it is basically asking to solve for 452 cents. Then remember 1 quarter is 25 cents 1 dime is 10 cents 1 nickel is 5 cents and 1 pennie is 1 cent. I hope this helped, good luck for the rest of the year with math.
