Worked Examples

Example 1: Counting US Dollars

Suppose you have:

2 × $100 bills
5 × $20 bills
10 × $5 bills
20 × $1 bills
15 × $0.25 coins
30 × $0.10 coins
50 × $0.05 coins
100 × $0.01 coins

The calculation would be:

Total = (2 × $100) + (5 × $20) + (10 × $5) + (20 × $1) + (15 × $0.25) + (30 × $0.10) + (50 × $0.05) + (100 × $0.01)

Total = $200 + $100 + $50 + $20 + $3.75 + $3 + $2.50 + $1 = $357.25

Example 2: Counting UK Pounds

Suppose you have:

1 × £50 note
3 × £20 notes
7 × £10 notes
12 × £5 notes
25 × £2 coins
40 × £1 coins
60 × £0.50 coins
80 × £0.20 coins
100 × £0.10 coins
150 × £0.05 coins

The calculation would be:

Total = (1 × £50) + (3 × £20) + (7 × £10) + (12 × £5) + (25 × £2) + (40 × £1) + (60 × £0.50) + (80 × £0.20) + (100 × £0.10) + (150 × £0.05)

Total = £50 + £60 + £70 + £60 + £50 + £40 + £30 + £16 + £10 + £7.50 = £403.50
