Let’s solve each problem one by one. We’re finding how many
whole dollars you need to cover each amount — that means we round
up to the next whole dollar, even if it’s just a few cents over.
For example:
- $0.75 → You need $1 (because 75 cents is less than a dollar, but you still need a full dollar to pay for it)
- $1.91 → You need $2 (because 91 cents over $1 means you need another dollar)
We’ll go through each:
1. $0.75 → Next dollar up =
$1
2. $6.16 → Already over $6, so next dollar =
$7
3. $6.83 → Over $6, under $7 → next dollar =
$7
4. $9.05 → Just over $9 → next dollar =
$10
5. $5.53 → Over $5 → next dollar =
$6
6. $1.03 → Just over $1 → next dollar =
$2
7. $5.22 → Over $5 → next dollar =
$6
8. $3.26 → Over $3 → next dollar =
$4
9. $9.84 → Almost $10 → next dollar =
$10
10. $2.95 → Almost $3 → next dollar =
$3
Now the right column:
11. $1.91 → Almost $2 → next dollar =
$2
12. $7.15 → Over $7 → next dollar =
$8
13. $4.24 → Over $4 → next dollar =
$5
14. $8.26 → Over $8 → next dollar =
$9
15. $4.55 → Over $4 → next dollar =
$5
16. $3.70 → Over $3 → next dollar =
$4
17. $2.24 → Over $2 → next dollar =
$3
18. $0.44 → Less than $1 → next dollar =
$1
19. $7.88 → Almost $8 → next dollar =
$8
20. $8.76 → Almost $9 → next dollar =
$9
Let me double-check a few tricky ones:
- $0.44 → yes, needs $1
- $1.03 → yes, needs $2 (not $1, because it’s MORE than $1)
- $9.84 → yes, needs $10
All look correct.
Final Answer:
1. $1
2. $7
3. $7
4. $10
5. $6
6. $2
7. $6
8. $4
9. $10
10. $3
11. $2
12. $8
13. $5
14. $9
15. $5
16. $4
17. $3
18. $1
19. $8
20. $9
