A customer pays $0.82 for a $0.64 bill.
Find the least amount of bills and coins to give change
First calculate change amount
Change = Cash - Bill
Change = $0.82 - $0.64
Change = $0.18
Calculate change denominations
Our current target value is $0.18
The highest coin/dollar value <= $0.18 is 1 dime
1 dime = $0.10
Subtract $0.10 from our current total of $0.18 to get $0.08
Our current target value is $0.08
The highest coin/dollar value <= $0.08 is 1 nickel
1 nickel = $0.05
Subtract $0.05 from our current total of $0.08 to get $0.03
Our current target value is $0.03
The highest coin/dollar value <= $0.03 is 3 pennies
3 pennies = $0.03
Subtract $0.03 from our current total of $0.03 to get $0.00
