Math Project due Friday

 I gave this same set of instructions to your child on Monday on a green half sheet of paper.
Here are the instructions for the project:
You are the cashier at a store you own. You decide what type of merchandise you sell at your store and give your store a name. Draw a picture of items that would be for sale. Make a chart that lists the items and their prices. Five customers bring their merchandise to your cash register. Tell what each customer bought and the price of every item. Add their total cost. They pay with a bill that is larger than their total. Subtract to make change. Tell exactly how many bills and coins you give the customer to make change.

Example:                      Grover’s Grocery Store

Merchandise
Price
Bread
$2.50
Lettuce
$2.19
Banana
$1.38
Apple
$1.10
 
Customer One:

     $2.50 bread              $5.00 bill

+   $1.38 banana          - $3.88  total

     $3.88  total               $1.12      Customer One receives 1 dollar, 1 dime, and 2 pennies in change.
