Distinguishing the differences between the bills

In American currency we have six different types of bills. ◦They are the 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 dollar

bills. How do we tell the difference between all

six?◦All the bills look a different. ◦Main difference is that the amount the bill

represents the number is print in the four corners of the bill.

Now that you know how to distinguish between the different bills, and what their names are.

Making Change Using Bills

When making change using bills you need to remember simple addition and subtraction.

For example:◦You have five dollars. You want to buy a pencil

for a dollar. If you give the cashier the five dollar bill you have, how much of what bill will you get back?

Keep Going:

Cont. Making Change Using Bills

Lets break the problem down. Instead of saying bills lets just say you have 5 and one is being taken away. What do you have left? ◦Using subtraction: 5-1=4 ◦Your answer is 4, you know that there is not a

bill with a 4 on it. The bills are 1,5,10,20, 50 and 100. What bills can you use to equal 4? One dollar bills. Using addition: 4+1=4 meaning

four one dollar bills equals 4 dollars.
