Question One

Create an application that can help students in grade 1 through 3 learn how to give change.

The application will allow the students to enter the amount of money a customer owes and

the amount of money the customer paid. It then will calculate the amount of change, as well

as the number of dollars, quarter, dimes, nickels and pennies to return to the customers. For

now, you will not worry about the situation where the amount owed is greater than the

amount paid. You will assume that the customer pays either the exact amount or more than

then exact amount. For example your change should display how many N$200, N$100,

N$50, N$20, N$10, N$5,50cents, 10cents and 5cents are returned to the customers. Name

your application ChangeApp.
