Question

1. Mr. Samuel had 13 notes in his wallet. They consist of $1. $5 and $10 notes. The total amount of the notes adds up to $93. How many $10 notes are there in his wallet?​

Answer 1

8 $10 notes

Explanation:

I started by working it backwards. $93-$3 equals $90. So we have three of our 13 notes. We need ten more. Well the most $10 notes we can have is 8. if we had 8 $10 notes that would give us $80. $90-$80=10. We can take ten and divide it by five so we have 2 $5 notes.

So in total he would have 8 $10 notes, 2 $5 notes, and $3 one dollar notes which adds up to 13 notes
