Let’s solve each problem step by step. We are given the price of an item and some coins that were used to pay for it. We need to find out how much change is given back — that means:
Change = Amount Paid – Price of Item
We’ll go one by one.
---
Problem 1:
Item price: 15¢
Coins shown: two quarters → each quarter is 25¢, so total paid = 25 + 25 =
50¢
Change = 50 – 15 =
35¢
✔ Check: 15 + 35 = 50 → correct.
---
Problem 2:
Item price: 35¢
Coins shown: two quarters → 25 + 25 =
50¢
Change = 50 – 35 =
15¢
✔ Check: 35 + 15 = 50 → correct.
---
Problem 3:
Item price: 45¢
Coins shown: three quarters → 25 + 25 + 25 =
75¢
Change = 75 – 45 =
30¢
✔ Check: 45 + 30 = 75 → correct.
---
Problem 4:
Item price: 40¢
Coins shown: three quarters → 25 + 25 + 25 =
75¢
Change = 75 – 40 =
35¢
✔ Check: 40 + 35 = 75 → correct.
---
Problem 5:
Item price: 15¢
Coins shown: two quarters → 25 + 25 =
50¢
Change = 50 – 15 =
35¢
✔ Check: 15 + 35 = 50 → correct.
---
Problem 6:
Item price: 45¢
Coins shown: two quarters → 25 + 25 =
50¢
Change = 50 – 45 =
5¢
✔ Check: 45 + 5 = 50 → correct.
---
Problem 7:
Item price: 20¢
Coins shown: one quarter →
25¢
Change = 25 – 20 =
5¢
✔ Check: 20 + 5 = 25 → correct.
---
Final Answer:
1) 35¢
2) 15¢
3) 30¢
4) 35¢
5) 35¢
6) 5¢
7) 5¢
