My remainder @post, I think balance is more appropriate. Change can mean smaller denomination of d amount given |

This is the right way to use them: Your 'change' is the difference in the cost of product/service and the actual money given to the seller. While 'balance' refers to the rest of your change after giving you part of it. For example, your change is #700, but you were first given #500. This means that your 'balance' is #200. 1 Like |

TRADELYN: awesome..."My change" is still the best answer...cuz you can talk to some errand boy like "keep the change" not "keep the balance" that doesn't even sound right |

Libkid: Please nairalanders.i have heard people using the two words during business transaction but i dont know which one is correct.is it my change or my balance ? E.g conductor can i have my change or conductor can i have my balanceIn this context (of currency or cash), 'change' would mean "The balance of money received when the amount you tender is greater than the amount due" Example: you could say: I paid with a twenty Naira and pocketed the change. "Balance" (in ds context) implies "Equality between the totals of the credit and debit sides of an account". It's usage is most appropriate for accounting. Thus, "change" is the appropriate word when u re referring to an everyday transaction |
