    A customer pays $21.00 for a $14.96 bill. Find the least amount of bills and coins to give change

    Change = $21 - $14.96
    Change = $6.04

    Using bills first, we can use:
    $5
    $1

    This gives us $6

    We have:
    $6.04 - $6 = 0.04
    We can use 4 pennies to cover this

    Total bills and coins:
    1 - $5
    1 - $1
    4 pennies
