Question

Michael paid $5 for a model that cost $4.39 with tax. What coins should Michael get back in change?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

First, we need to subtract $4.39 from $5.00 to see how much change Michael is going to get:

`$5.00 - $4.39 = $0.61`

Therefore, Michael will need to get one penny back leaving:

`$0.61 - $0.01 = $0.60`

Now, Michael would get 2 quarters back which is equal to $0.50 leaving:

`$0.60 - $0.50 = $0.10`

And this leaves 1 dime

So, Michael would get back:

• 2 quarters
• 1 dime
• 1 penny
