Answer 1

Start with the pennies - give the customer 2 and you're at 3.65, give him a dime, now you're at 3.75, now give him a quarter, you're at 4.00.  give him a single, you're at 5.00 and finally, give him a 5 dollar bill.  Start with the lowest and work your way up.

Answer 2

Poor thing your math teacher should be fired today!

Oh well I hope you can add and subtract...use your fingers if necessay but just count backwards from the amt charged to the amt given..ok

Good luck..you dont vote do you?

Answer 3

1. Give change without using any math, except counting.

2. Note that there is no need to add, subtract or multiply.

3. Understand that if you are handed a large bill, for a smaller purchase amount that you always count forwards from the purchase amount.

4. Start counting with the smallest change, to the highest bill, until you reach the total amount you are make change for.

Hand Out Change

Say that the purchase was for $5.22. The customer hands you $10.00. Immediately think, 5.22 out of ten.

Count to yourself.....starting from the purchase amount with the change.

Start with each penny and one at a time say, 23 cents, 24 cents, 25 cents. Then take a nickel and say 30 cents a dime and say 40 cents then another dime say 50 cents, then take two quarters (50 cents) and say 6 Dollars.

Taking out one dollar bills, one at a time, say 7 dollars, 8 dollars. 9 dollars, 10 dollars.

Notice that you have just counted forwards from the purchase amount to reach the 10.00 that was handed to you.

Understand that if they had handed you $20.00, you would give them another $10.00, and you would say, "and 10 is 20 dollars".

Being proficient in math is not required to be a good cashier. You are not adding, only counting.

The same method is used when someone hands you back change. Start with the small change and count up to the total.
