Figure out how many notes are in each envelope.

The 1st envelope has two more bills than half the number that are in the 2nd envelope.
If you double the number of notes in the 3rd envelope, it would have the same number as the 1st and 2nd together.
The 3rd envelope has more than the 1st, but fewer than the 2nd.

Answer:

1st 10, 2nd 24, 3rd 17

Step-by-step explanation:

This is just one solution, I'm sure there are other answers.

2nd. 24

1st. 24/2+2=10

3rd. 24+10=36 then divide by 2 and you get 17.
