Answer:

3.90

Step-by-step explanation:

4.25

+1.85=6.10

10-6.10=3.9

Answer:  $3.90

======================================================

Work Shown:

4.25+1.85 = 6.10

It costs $6.10 to get the sandwich and drink.

If the customer pays with a $10 bill, then they get 10.00 - 6.10 = 3.90 dollars in change.

One way to represent $3.90 is to have:

  • 3 dollar bills = 3 dollars
  • 3 quarters = 3*25 = 75 cents
  • 1 dime = 10 cents
  • 1 nickel = 5 cents

The coins add up in value to 75+10+5 = 90 cents.

Or another option is to have 9 dimes and no other coins. Or perhaps you could have nothing but nickels and you'd need 18 nickels. There are a few ways to determine what coins to use.
