The answer to the question is

The expression for the number of single dollars that would have to be paid is Price/100.

Step-by-step explanation:

Price is an integer variable in cents

Item is paid for with a minimum amount of change

$ 1.00 = 100 cents

Therefore 1 cent = $ 1.00 / 100

Since the price of an item is in cents, we have

Number of cents/100 = minimum amount of dollars that would have to be paid. That is

Price of the item in cents/100

Therefore the expression for the number of single dollars that would have to be paid is price/100.
