i cant get a damn job without knowing how to count change. its not that i dont know its because im very slow at it and i cant do mental math. so i get nervous at this..
yup thats what happens to me and just gives me anxiety. but i found a cool app that help me practice counting change and i finally feel a little bit confident
You should make change counting forward from the amount of the sale to the amount tendered (what the customer gave you) with the LEAST amount of coins and/or bills possible. In this example you would give 3 pennies ($3.55), 2 dimes ($3.75), 1 quarter ($4) and one $1 bill to make $5.00. Counting back to the customer would be (I'm handing the change to the customer counting from $3.52 to 5): "That was $3.52 out of $5? Here's 3.53, 3.54, 3.55, 3.65, 3.75, $4 and $5."
Was there a reason you weren't trying to get to the nearest quarter-dollar? Fewer coins. 3.52 + 3 pennies = $3.55 3.55 + 2 dimes = $3.75 3.75 + 1 quarter = $4.00 4.00 + 1 dollar = $5.00
You always give back as few coins as necessary. Using this method you'll run out of nickel and dimes. 48cents is 1 quarter 2 dimes 3 pennies. Money math comes second nature to me and I've spent 16yrs on a job where I gave out change without the use of a register or calculator. Starting out just look at the change part and know how much more to reach a hundred. Example customer owes $10.16 and pays $15. Thats 84cents (3 quarters 1 nickel 4 pennies) now you're at $11 plus $4 is $15. Its important to build your confidence the speed will come naturally. Trying to gain speed first you'll always be worried about messing up.
I hate it when people count change backwards to me, they might as well throw the money in my face and walk away. I understand it but I can't do it kind of like counting cards in 21. And when they start counting it out and call a $1 an $100 bill it doesn't make anysense at all. Just count like normal people geez
+Toad Phillips I actually looked up "how to count change," to find out why people kept doing this. I knew my change was going to come out to 13 dollars and 60-something cents, but the cashier told me 15 and and 10 (something like that). He was giving me back the right amount of change so I knew he wasn't stupid, but he was telling me something completely different. Then he had the nerve to count out my money again as if I was a child and looked at me as if I was stupid. I didn't realize this is what he was doing, but it really does just cause confusion and delay. I had already subtracted the change to 1.48 in my head. This just seems very complicated.
some 50 year old called me lazy on how i gave them change back i owed them $26.00 so i started with large bills.. 20(20 bill), 25(5 bill), 26(1 bill) cash back... how the fuck am i lazy does she not know common math? do i look like a math professor?!
😭man the only thing i got right was how much he would get back by subtracting how much the candy was with the $5.00 and got $1.48 buhh 😔😔 i just want to know how to count change fast and easy i know how i just suck
I think it's easier to teach this in person. That's why you probably thought it was difficult. But this is the easiest way to do it. Just keep practicing in person with real change if you can.
$5.00 given to get $1.48 mask man because he paid with 5.00 not 5.48 . Start from .48¢ - (add two pennies) to make .50¢ . Then (add two quarters) to make 2.00 (Add 3.00) to make $5. So the amount he paid was 3.52 + 1.48 = 5.00 :)
i cant get a damn job without knowing how to count change. its not that i dont know its because im very slow at it and i cant do mental math. so i get nervous at this..
Omg i have the exact same problem.
Shit dude same, I thought it was just me. I try doing it all in my head but it gets all jumbled up and then I have to start all over.
yup thats what happens to me and just gives me anxiety. but i found a cool app that help me practice counting change and i finally feel a little bit confident
I'm glad you found something that helped you! What app is it if you don't mind me asking?
yeah same here, I hate it when i am counting, it gives so much anxiety and then I hate it when I lose count

Mine would be 3.52+3pennies+2dimes+1quarter=4.00+1.00=5bucks .
Thank you! Wtf is this add dimes until you get to four crap.

long time ago ppl were ppor and did not have money but at lest u can buy a lot i wanted to go to the past it was lot eaisier to buy instead counting
should have been
3 pennies
2 dimes
1 quarter
1dollar
confused as fuck
Um...not exactly as I would have done it.
This made it so difficult

Thank you!!! For this video😆 it really helped!💯
Just subtract.
It made nk sense completely how could ppl do math like this!? :/
But why did Jim give 5 dollar bill if it is 3.52 you see here, I am very dumb sooooooo I got the rest but not that part... Mmmm
I’m lost isn’t 5-3 is 2. Then why is he getting 1 48 shouldn’t be 2.48
$5.00 given to get $1.48
mask man because he paid with 5.00 not 5.48 . Start from .48¢ - (add two pennies) to make .50¢ .
Then (add two quarters) to make 2.00
(Add 3.00) to make $5. So the amount he paid was 3.52 + 1.48 = 5.00 :)
Easy just counting cents, rounding to 5s and. Counting up a dollar!
this method is starting to make sense to me
this still tricky but ill get tha
hang of it
i don't understand at all to me it's like we ar getting different number so i wish instead of money we could buy stuff
This person is basically telling us to subtract decimals
