Making Change at the Boutique Shop
Student Page
In the Boutique Shop, you must determine
the change a customer receives from $5.00 for each purchase and decide
what coins you use to make the change. You have quarters, dimes,
nickels, and pennies.
-
List all the different ways you can make change
in this problem?
-
What is the least number of coins you need to
find this change?
-
Whats the most number of coins you can use to
find this change if you have a limit of 9 of any particular coin?
-
Why can you use only 8 pennies or 3 pennies?
(Why not 9, 7, 6, 5, 4, 2, 1, or 0?)
