So i am almost done with my program but i keep getting one penny off. For example when I input $6.01 as cost of item and $10.00 as the amount tendered I get the result as $3.99 but the denomination comes in as 3 one dollar bills, 3 quarters, 2 dimes, and 3 pennies ( which is supposed to be 4). How can I fix this?
static int assignment_change() {
//Variables
float cost_of_item, amount_tendered, total;
int change, pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, dollar, five_dollars;
//Input
std::cout << "What was the cost of the item ($0.00 - $20.00)? $";
std::cin >> cost_of_item;
std::cout << "What was the amount tendered (Max $20.00)? $";
std::cin >> amount_tendered;
if (cost_of_item <= 20 && cost_of_item >= 0 && amount_tendered <= 20 && amount_tendered >= 0 && amount_tendered > cost_of_item)
{
//Formulas
total = amount_tendered - cost_of_item;
change = (int)total * 100;
five_dollars = change / 500;
change %= 500;
dollar = change / 100;
change %= 100;
quarters = change / 25;
change = change % 25;
dimes = change / 10;
change %= 10;
nickels = change / 5;
change %= 5;
pennies = change / 1;
change %= 1;
//Output

}
else
std::cout << "*****Your input for the cost of the item or the amount that was to be tendered was outside the designated range.*****" << std::endl;
