PAULEY, INC - Supplementary Payroll Sheet:

Explanation using 1st employee case:

Employee name = Chad T. Biskis

His salary = $251.75

The amount should be paid using the least number of various denominations given.

So, $251.75 can be paid using 12 bills of $50 (5*$50) + 1 bill of $1 (1*$1) + 1 coin of 50¢ (1*0.50) + 1 coin of 25¢ (1*0.25) such that total denominations are minimum in number.
