Question

A cash register contains only five dollar and ten dollar bills. It contains three times as many five dollar bills as ten dollar bills and the total amount of

money in the cash register is $950. How many ten dollar bills are in the cash register?

Answer 1

38

Explanation:

Let x be the number of ten dollar

Number of five dollar=3x

Total amount of money in the cash register=$950

We have to find the number of ten dollar bill in the cash register.

According to question

`5* (3x)+10x=950`

`15x+10x=950`

`25x=950`

`x=(950)/(25)`

`x=38`

Hence, number of ten dollar bills in the cash register=38
