MHB How to Efficiently Distribute Change Using Five and One Dollar Bills

[moodtl32]

A cashier distributes change using the maximum number of five dollar bills, followed by one dollar bills. For example, 19 yields 3 fives and 4 ones. Write a single statement that assigns the number of 1 dollar bills to variable numOnes, given amountToChange. Hint: Use the % operator.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int amountToChange;
int numFives;
int numOnes;

cin >> amountToChange;
numFives = amountToChange / 5;

/ Your Input Goes Here/

cout << "numFives: " << numFives << endl;
cout << "numOnes: " << numOnes << endl;

return 0;
}

my input was amountToChange = numOnes % 5;

Which is incorrect.
