Question

11. A bank teller has a total of 124 bills in five-dollar bills and ten-dollar bills. The total value of the

money is $840. How many ten-dollar bills does she have

Answer 1

44 ten-dollar bills

Explanation:

Assume that all 124 bills are ten-dollar bills,

124 x $10 = $1240

Total Value of Money : $840

$1240 - $840 = $400

There are $400 worth of five-dollar bills,

$400 / 5 = 80 (The number of five-dollar bills)

Therfore the number of ten-dollar bills,

124 - 80 = 44

Let's check:

44 x $10 = $440

80 x $5 = $400

Total = $440 + $400

= $840
