sumas y restas
Hola estoy traduciendo un software de matemáticas en el que se enseña a niños a dar cambio con billetes y monedas, y esta es una de las estrategias. Les dejo el contexto a continuación:
If we count the money from 4.68 upwards, and stop exactly when we reach 10, we will end up giving the correct change.
So, let's start with 4.68 $, and count up to 10 $.
For example, we can give the customer 532 coins of 1 cent each (running the risk that the customer will never return to our store).
The **count-and-round** strategy is relatively easy to implement, and thus it is very popular among real cashiers.

redondeo para lograr sumas exactas
La expression en sí misma no existe sino que es la explicación que dan en tu texto, y sería redondeo para evitar el cambio chico y molesto.. "...la estrategia de redondeo para lograr sumas exactas..."
