Question

All items at a "Penny Fair" are priced less than $1.00. Write a program that makes change with a minimum number of coins when a customer pays for an item with a one dollar bill. Prompt for the item price in cents, report the change due, and the number of coins of each denomination required. Use only quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies for change (no 50 cent pieces). See sample output but your program should work for any item price. Sample Output Enter the item price in cents 32 Change due is 68 cents. Quarters: 2 Dimes: 1 Nickels: 1 Pennies: 3

Python, Use formatting

Answer 1

Explanation:

Code in PYTHON is given below
Output is given at the end
Note : Suppose due is 68 and we need to see how many Quarters coins
we can cover then we need to divide due/25 which gives us 2

And then we take modulo i.e remainder of division of due by 25
which gives us 18.
Similary we calculate for Dimes, Nickels and Pennies

CODE IN PYTHON:

cents = int(input('Enter the item price in cents:'))
due = 100-cents
print('Change due is',due,'cents.')
quarters = due//25
print('Quarters:',quarters)
due = due%25
dimes = due//10
print('Dimes:',dimes)
due = due%10
nickels = due//5
print('Nickels:',nickels)
due = due%5
pennies = due
print('Pennies:',pennies)

OUTPUT:

TEST CASE 1:

Enter the item price in cents:32
Change due is 68 cents.
Quarters: 2
Dimes: 1
Nickels: 1
Pennies: 3

TEST CASE 2:

Enter the item price in cents:50
Change due is 50 cents.
Quarters: 2
Dimes: 0
Nickels: 0
Pennies: 0
