Answer 1

To determine the correct change Sherman should receive after purchasing a candy bar for $1.02 with a $20 bill, we first need to calculate the change.

1. **Calculate the total amount of change:**
\[
\text{Change} = \text{Amount Paid} - \text{Cost of Candy Bar} = 20.00 - 1.02 = 18.98
\]

Now, we will break down the options:

**Option A:**
- $110 bill: $110 (not valid)
- $5 bill: $5 (not valid)
- 3 dimes: $0.30
- 2 quarters: $0.50
- 3 pennies: $0.03
- Total: $110 + $5 + $0.30 + $0.50 + $0.03 = $115.83 (not valid)

**Option B:**
- 1 $10 bill: $10
- 1 $5 bill: $5
- 3 $1 bills: $3
- 3 quarters: $0.75
- 2 dimes: $0.20
- 3 pennies: $0.03
- Total: $10 + $5 + $3 + $0.75 + $0.20 + $0.03 = $18.98 (valid)

**Option C:**
- 1 $10 bill: $10
- 1 $5 bill: $5
- 3 $1 bills: $3
- 2 quarters: $0.50
- Total: $10 + $5 + $3 + $0.50 = $18.50 (not valid)

Therefore, the valid option for the change that Sherman should receive is **Option B**: 1 $10 bill, 1 $5 bill, 3 $1 bills, 3 quarters, 2 dimes, and 3 pennies.
