Answer

To make $16.67 with the fewest bills, you would first use a $10 bill, leaving $6.67. To cover the remaining whole dollar amount of $6, you would then need one $5 bill. The remaining $1.67 would be covered by a $1 bill and coins.

Answer

To make $59.98 with the fewest bills, you should use the largest denominations possible without exceeding the total. Two $20 bills total $40, which is the maximum number of $20 bills you can use while still having enough remaining for other denominations to reach $59.98. Using three $20 bills would exceed the total amount.

To make $18.04 with the fewest coins, you focus on the cents portion, which is $0.04. Since a penny is $0.01, you would need exactly four pennies to make up $0.04. No other coin combination can achieve this amount with fewer coins.
