Question

You have 18 bills in your wallet in $1, $5, and $10 bills. There are three times as many $1 bills as $5 bills. The number of $10 bills is two less than the number of $5 bills. How many of each bill do you have? How much money do you have?

Answer 1

Answer:. $70

Step-by-step explanation: FROM the information provided, we can begin to determine an equation. Now the first sentence;

1)Let the number of $5 bills be X

2)The number of $1 bills will be 3 times x....., And that gives 3x

3)The number of $10 bills will be x-2 ( From the third sentence

Adding 1)+2)+3) we must have 18 as stated in the first sentence.

Consequently, we have;

x+3x+(x-2) = 18

Solving for x we get x=4.

Now substitution the value of X in the three equations.

1) 5 of $5 bills =$25

2) 15 of $1 bills = $15

3) 3 of $10 bills =$30

Adding, we have $70

Answer 2

• $1 × 12
• $5 × 4
• $10 × 2
• total of $52

Explanation:

If you were to add two $10 bills, there would be 20 bills that could be grouped as 3 ones, 1 five, and 1 ten. That is, there would be 20/5 = 4 such groups.

That means there are 4·3 = 12 ones, 4·1 = 4 fives, and two fewer (2) tens. The total of these 18 bills is $12+20+20 = $52.
