Problem of the Week:
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?)
