MAKING CHANGE USING COINS AND DOLLARS What Is Making Change? • Making change means giving money back to someone after they have made a purchase and paid more than they owed. • This is done using dollars and coins (quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies). • You can subtract, add, multiply, and divide money when making change. How to make change using coins and dollars: Solve these problems like you would solve word problems. Subtract the amount spent from the amount of money you have. Example: Sammy went to the movies and paid $7.50 for a ticket. He paid with a $10.00 bill. How much change did Sammy get back when he bought his ticket? Use subtraction: $10.00 - $7.50 = $2.50 Try This! Joe bought a shirt that cost $13.99. He gave the clerk $20.00. How much change did he receive? ________________________ Lisa works in the rental room of a roller skating rink. A customer rented skates for $4.05 and gave her $5.00.
