How to count your cash step by step: 1. Sort the notes: arrange all banknotes by value (5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, and possibly 500 EUR). 2. Count the notes: enter the number of each note denomination. The calculator multiplies quantity x denomination and forms the total. 3. Sort the coins: arrange the coins by value (1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 cents and 1, 2 EUR). 4. Count the coins: enter the number of each coin type. 5. Read off the total amount: the calculator adds up the notes and coins to the total amount. 6. For cash register reconciliations: compare the cash on hand with the target balance from the register. Example: 3x 50 EUR = 150 EUR, 5x 20 EUR = 100 EUR, 2x 10 EUR = 20 EUR, 4x 5 EUR = 20 EUR. Total notes: 290 EUR. 8x 2 EUR = 16 EUR, 12x 1 EUR = 12 EUR, 15x 50 cents = 7.50 EUR, 20x 20 cents = 4.00 EUR, 10x 10 cents = 1.00 EUR, 25x 5 cents = 1.25 EUR. Total coins: 41.75 EUR. Total amount: 331.75 EUR.
Calculation Example
Notes: 3x50 + 5x20 + 2x10 + 4x5 = 290 EUR. Coins: 8x2 + 12x1 + 15x0.50 + 20x0.20 + 10x0.10 + 25x0.05 = 41.75 EUR. Total: 331.75 EUR.
