Fix grammar in currency-exchange exercise (#3517)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The word _amount_ is generally used for things that come in piles (like money) or
that can otherwise be measured but not counted (like water).

The word _number_ is typically used if you can count them.

Technically money can be counted, but it's an exception (see 'piles' above).

Here we count bills and digits, so 'number' is the more common choice of word.

Create the `get_value_of_bills()` function, taking 2 parameters:

1. `denomination` : The value of a single bill.
2. `number_of_bills` : Amount of bills you received.
2. `number_of_bills` : Number of bills you received.

This exchanging booth only deals in cash of certain increments.
The total you receive must be divisible by the value of one "bill" or unit, which can leave behind a fraction or remainder.
