Explanation:
- The task is to find the change you get back when you pay $1 for each item.
- Each item costs less than $1, so you subtract the price of the item from $1.
- You need to show the change using the fewest coins possible.
- Remember: $1 = 100 cents.
- Use quarters (25¢), dimes (10¢), nickels (5¢), and pennies (1¢).
- Work through each item:
1. Nail polish: 75¢ → $1.00 – $0.75 = 25¢ → 1 quarter
2. Hairbrush: 80¢ → $1.00 – $0.80 = 20¢ → 2 dimes
3. Bracelet: 60¢ → $1.00 – $0.60 = 40¢ → 1 quarter + 1 dime + 1 nickel
4. Scissors: 45¢ → $1.00 – $0.45 = 55¢ → 2 quarters + 1 nickel
5. Pencil: 50¢ → $1.00 – $0.50 = 50¢ → 2 quarters
6. Toothbrush: 70¢ → $1.00 – $0.70 = 30¢ → 1 quarter + 1 nickel
7. Eraser: 25¢ → $1.00 – $0.25 = 75¢ → 3 quarters
8. Tape: 90¢ → $1.00 – $0.90 = 10¢ → 1 dime
Final Answer:
1. 1 quarter
2. 2 dimes
3. 1 quarter, 1 dime, 1 nickel
4. 2 quarters, 1 nickel
5. 2 quarters
6. 1 quarter, 1 nickel
