How do you make 23 dollars with 5 bills and 3 coins?

Answer 1

One way to make 23 dollars with 5 bills and 3 coins is as follows:

* 4 $5 bills

* 1 $1 bill

* 1 $1 coin (there are many $1 coins to choose from in the US)

* 2 $0.50 coins (there is only one type of half-dollar coin in the US)

4 * $5 + 1 * $1 + 1 * $1 + 2 * $0.50 = $23

4 bills + 1 bill = 5 bills

1 coin + 2 coins = 3 coins
