Question

Kirsten buys a puzzle collection for $27.83. She pays with one $20 bill and two $5 bills. Using the least number of coins and bills, what is Kirsten's change? Drag numbers to complete the table. Numbers may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

Answer 1

Explanation:

So the total she pays is 30 dollars (20+5+5). The puzzle amount was 27.83. Subtract 27.83 from 30 dollars to get her change.

$2.17

Therefore, you could use a 2-dollar bill (or 2 1-dollar bills), a dime (10 cents), 1 nickel (5 cents), and two pennies (1 cent each). This will amount to the total change.
