Question

Wezi has sixty-three $5-bills to the bank to exchange them for $20-bills. How many $20-bills does Wezi get? Is there money left over? explain

Answer 1

A. Wezi will get fifteen (15) $20-bills.

B. There will be $15 left.

Explanation:

A. We have been given that Wezi has sixty-three $5 bills.

Let us find the total amount of money that Wezi has by multiplying 63 by 5.

`\text{Total amount of money Wezi has}=63*\$5`

`\text{Total amount of money Wezi has}=\$315`

Therefore, Wezi has $315.

Since Wezi wants to exchange her total money of $5 bills with $20 bills, so let us divide total amount of money by 20.

`\text{The number of \$20 bills}=(\$315)/(\$20)`

`\text{The number of \$20 bills}=15.75`

Since we cannot 0.75 of a $20 bill, so Wezi will get 15 $20-bills.

We can see that 315 is not completely divisible by 20, so let us subtract greatest multiple of 20 from 315.

We can see
`15* 20=300`, so upon subtracting 300 from 315 we will get,

`\$315-\$300=\$15`

Therefore, there will be $15 left.
