[Story] At the bustling market, a man clutched a crumpled dollar bill, eager to spend it. He checked the price of a pound of apples, noting it cost a mere 25 cents, or 25 cents, a small change from his pocket. He decided to buy two pounds, reaching into his wallet to pull out a couple of coins. The total cost was 50 cents, and he handed the vendor a dollar. The vendor returned the change, a few pennies and a nickel, and gave him a note of thanks for his patronage.
