Question

a. Raj has three times as many one-dollar bills as he does five-dollar bills. He has a total of $32. How many of each bill does he have?

Answer 1

Let:

x = one-dollar bills

y = five-dollar bills

He has a total of $32, therefore:

x + y = 32

Since, Raj has three times as many one-dollar bills as he does five-dollar bills, then:

3 + y = x
