A customer pays $6.58 for a $5.02 bill.

Find the least amount of bills and coins to give change

First calculate change amount

Change = Cash - Bill

Change = $6.58 - $5.02

Change = $1.56

Calculate change denominations

Our current target value is $1.56

The highest coin/dollar value <= $1.56 is 1 dollar

1 dollar = $1.00

Subtract $1.00 from our current total of $1.56 to get $0.56

Our current target value is $0.56

The highest coin/dollar value <= $0.56 is 2 quarters

2 quarters = $0.50

Subtract $0.50 from our current total of $0.56 to get $0.06

Our current target value is $0.06

The highest coin/dollar value <= $0.06 is 1 nickel

1 nickel = $0.05

Subtract $0.05 from our current total of $0.06 to get $0.01

Our current target value is $0.01

The highest coin/dollar value <= $0.01 is 1 penny

1 penny = $0.01

Subtract $0.01 from our current total of $0.01 to get $0.00
