Build a Cash Register Project - Build a Cash Register

Tell us what’s happening:

I’m failing tests 9 and 10.

Why is test 9 considered “Insufficient Funds” if there is more than the 50 cents needed in the drawer?

Similar to above, why is test 10 failing if there is the exact amount in the drawer?
