Hi,
first of all, I am very bad at numbers. here is the calculation. it looks simple to me but I struggle more to solve this.
I am a stamp vendor so I do sale stamps according to my government provided denomination with certain rules.
stamp paper available denominations are 10,50,100,500,1000,5000,10000,15000,20000,25000
for example if a person wants 17000 then I have provide 7 or 13 sheets using above denomination if possible.
17000 in 7 sheets
number of possiblities
i)
5000 * 3 = 15000
500 * 4 = 2000
_________________________
7 17000
_________________________
so 7 stamp papers total of 17000 amount
At some situation I don't have 5000 denomination at that moment I have to figure out other possibility
ii)
13 sheet for 30000
10000 * 1 = 10000
5000 * 2 = 10000
1000 * 10 = 10000
___________________________
13 30000
so 13 stamp papers total of 30000 amount
This above two example took me 15 mins to figure out.
Is there any formula or method to figure out the denominations in a quick way?
Thanks
