Divide $547 (in whole $ increments) into a number of bags so that I can ask for any amount between $1 and $547, and you can give me the proper amount by giving me a certain number of these bags without opening them. What is the minimum number of bags you will require?

Praveen is absolutely right and not mohit. We are supposed to divide $547. So, Last bag can not have $512.
