Question #2The cashier has scanned all of our items.After a sales tax is added, the total is $19.35.Which combination of coins should the cashier useto give me the correct amount of change?A.

B.

C.

Too manyUh-oh, thats a few too many.Remember our total has to be less than $20.

Dont forget:You have to add up the total price of everything thats already in the cart.Then, subtract the price of the apples from whats left.Remember that we got more than one of some items.

Lets try one more time.

Correct!We just added two bags of apples to our cart!

Our total was $14.25.If each bag of apples costs $2.00, then we have just enough money to buy two bags of apples.Our final merchandise total is $18.25.

Not quiteOops, theres still enough money to buy a few more.Remember, we have $20 to spend.

Uh-oh, thats not quite enough;We should get a little bit more back from the cashier.

Keep in mind: A quarter equals 25. A dime equals 10. A nickel equals 5 A penny equals 1.

Lets help the cashier try again.Not quite

Correct!If you subtract the total, $19.35,from the amount of money we have, $20.00, we would get 65 in change.

One way of making 65 is withtwo quarters, one dime, and a nickel.
