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.
