Educational math worksheet for practicing making change from $1.00 using coins.

Let’s solve each problem step by step.

---

Problem 1:

You have:
→ One quarter = 25¢

You buy:
→ Rubik’s Cube = 12¢

We need to find the change.

Change = Money you have – Cost of item
= 25¢ – 12¢
= 13¢

Now, let’s count on from 12¢ to 25¢ using coins (as shown in the example):

Start at 12¢.

Add pennies first to get to a nickel or dime:

- 12¢ + 1¢ = 13¢ → add 1 penny
- 13¢ + 1¢ = 14¢ → add 1 penny
- 14¢ + 1¢ = 15¢ → add 1 penny → now we’re at 15¢

From 15¢, add a dime:
- 15¢ + 10¢ = 25¢ → done!

So coins used for counting on:
→ 3 pennies (to go from 12¢ to 15¢)
→ 1 dime (to go from 15¢ to 25¢)

Total change = 3¢ + 10¢ = 13¢

✔ Correct.

Problem 2:

You have:
→ One dollar bill = $1.00 = 100¢

You buy:
→ Robot toy = 69¢

Change = 100¢ – 69¢ = 31¢

Now, count on from 69¢ to 100¢ using coins.

Start at 69¢.

First, add 1 penny to get to 70¢:
→ 69¢ + 1¢ = 70¢ → 1 penny

From 70¢, add a nickel to get to 75¢:
→ 70¢ + 5¢ = 75¢ → 1 nickel

From 75¢, add a quarter to get to 100¢:
→ 75¢ + 25¢ = 100¢ → 1 quarter

Coins used:
→ 1 penny
→ 1 nickel
→ 1 quarter

Total change = 1¢ + 5¢ + 25¢ = 31¢

✔ Correct.

Final Answer:

1. Total Change: 13¢
Count on: 1¢, 1¢, 1¢, 10¢ → (or write coin values: penny, penny, penny, dime)

2. Total Change: 31¢
Count on: 1¢, 5¢, 25¢ → (or write coin values: penny, nickel, quarter)

But since the worksheet asks to fill in the blanks under “Count on” and then “Total Change”, here’s how to write it:

For Problem 1:
Under “Count on”:
First blank: 1¢
Second blank: 1¢
Third blank: 1¢
Fourth blank: 10¢
Total Change: 13¢

For Problem 2:
Under “Count on”:
First blank: 1¢
Second blank: 5¢
Third blank: 25¢
(Only three blanks shown — so use those)
Total Change: 31¢

Final Answer:
1. Count on: 1¢, 1¢, 1¢, 10¢ → Total Change: 13¢
2. Count on: 1¢, 5¢, 25¢ → Total Change: 31¢
