  1. Making Change Jobs for Montana's Graduates D25L1PP2

  2. Many jobs require employees to handle money while working with customers • Although most cash registers are programmed for employees to enter the amount of cash tendered (given to you by a customer), it’s important for you to know how to count out the correct change without the cash register Jobs for Montana's Graduates D25L1PP2

  3. Why? • You do not want to have to call the manager because you hit the wrong number (entered $100.00 instead of $10.00) and now you can’t figure out how much change to give the customer. • It shows the customer they received the correct change Jobs for Montana's Graduates D25L1PP2

  4. Place the money from the customer across the compartments of your drawer or on the case above the drawer • This keeps the customer’s money separate from what is already in your drawer • Protects you from a quick change artist (someone who tells you they gave you a $20 instead of a $5) • You can quickly see what money the customer gave you Jobs for Montana's Graduates D25L1PP2

  5. Let’s say that our customer bought a milkshake for $2.75 and paid with a $5.00 bill • We start with the price of the item • $2.75 • We add any change to get to a round dollar • $2.75 + $.25 = $3.00 • We add single dollars to get to the amount tendered • $3.00 + $1.00 = $4.00 + $1.00 = $5.00 Jobs for Montana's Graduates D25L1PP2

  6. When you count the change back to the customer: Say the purchase price Say the amount of the coin you are giving back as you place it in their hand, and the new total Repeat #2 as necessary Say the amount of the paper money you are giving back as you place it in their hand, and the new total Repeat #4 as necessary Jobs for Montana's Graduates D25L1PP2

  7. It would go like this: $2.75 $3.00 $4.00 and $5.00 Jobs for Montana's Graduates D25L1PP2

  8. Let’s say the customer’s total was $11.58 and the customer gave you $20.00 $.58 +$.02 = $.60 $.60 + $.05 = $.65 $.65 + $.10 = $.75 $.75 + $.25 = $1.00 (now we are at $12.00) $12.00 + $1.00 = $13.00 $13.00 + $1.00 = $14.00 $14.00 = $1.00 = $15.00 $15.00 + $5.00 = $20.00 (Now I use the largest bill possible to get me to the next round amount or the amount the customer tendered) Jobs for Montana's Graduates D25L1PP2

  9. It would go like this: $.58 +$.02 = $.60 $.60 + $.05 = $.65 $.65 + $.10 = $.75 $.75 + $.25 = $1.00 (now we are at $12.00) $12.00 + $1.00 = $13.00 $13.00 + $1.00 = $14.00 $14.00 = $1.00 = $15.00 $15.00 + $5.00 = $20.00 Jobs for Montana's Graduates D25L1PP2

  10. WAIT!! My boss told me to do it different… Always follow the directions from your boss first!! If you practice this method though, you may find it useful, maybe when you work concessions at a basketball game or in checking the change counted back to you by a clerk.
