At the movie theater, Celeste bought 2 large drinks and 2 large popcorns for $8.50. She paid with a twenty-dollar bill. What is the fewest number of bills and coins that she could have received as change?r of bills and coins that she could have received as change?

Calculate change:
Change = Amount Paid - Bill
Change = $20.00 - $8.50
Change = $11.50

Largest bill we can start with is a 10 dollar bill:
$11.50 - 10 = $1.50

Next largest bill is a $1 bill
$1.50 - $1 = 0.50

Now we're down to coins. Largest coin(s) we can use are quarters (assuming no half-dollars)
2 quarters equals 0.50
0.50 - 0.50 = 0

Therefore, our answer is:
Ten dollar Bill, 1 dollar bill, and 2 quarters
