C++ handles floating point numbers a little strange, but hides it from all of the users. take a look at this:

cout.precision(50); //notice the variables printed
    double var = 3.37;
    double var2 = 3.38;
    cout << var << endl << var2 << endl << var2- var;

3.3700000000000001065814103640150278806686401367188
3.3799999999999998934185896359849721193313598632812
0.0099999999999997868371792719699442386627197265625

when multiplying by one 100, the last var wont exactly equal one(thus why one penny always seems to be missing). A fix would be to use ceil() with the entire equation:

int remain = ceil(((tenderP - purchaseP) - (floor(tenderP - purchaseP))) * 100);

Sorry about the late reply, this one was hurting my brain a bit before i finally noticed the conversions from double to int.
