You have a ticket automat which gives exchange in coins with values 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20. The dispension of the exchange can be seen as a series of coin drops until the right value is dispensed. We say a dispension is optimal when its coin count is minimal for its value. Let M in [1,50] be the price for the ticket T and P in [1,50] the money somebody paid for T, with P >= M. Let D=P-M. We define the benefit of a step as the difference between D and D-c with c the coin the automat dispense in this step. The Greedy Technique for the exchange is the following pseudo algorithmic approach:

Question

You have a ticket automat which gives exchange in coins with values 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20. The dispension of the
exchange can be seen as a series of coin drops until the right value is dispensed. We say a dispension is optimal
when its coin count is minimal for its value.
Let M in [1,50] be the price for the ticket T and P in [1,50] the money somebody paid for T, with P >= M. Let D=P-M.
We define the benefit of a step as the difference between D and D-c with c the coin the automat dispense in this
step.
The Greedy Technique for the exchange is the following pseudo algorithmic approach:
