Circle the change that
Scott the store clerk needs
to give each customer.
To gure this out, rst count
from 78 to 80. Because you
are counting by 1s, circle a
penny for each number.
Now that you are at 80,
counting by 1s to 100 would
call for a lot of pennies to
make change. You could do
that, but most people like to
get their change with a
small number of coins.
Providing the rest of the
change in dimes would
mean counting by 10s. With
the 2 pennies you are at 80,
so with the next dime, you
would be at 90. Another
dime makes 100. Circle the 2
dimes to show the change
you counted to get to $1.00.
