Answer:

Explanation:

Let me see if I understand what you mean. Do you mean can you have 153 dollars in your pocket when all you have is 5 dollar bills?

If that is what you mean, then no that isn't possible. You can get 150 dollars or you can get 155 dollars, but you can't get 153.

In order to do the problem, using only 5 dollar bills, the number you choose must end in 0 or 5. If it ends in anything else, the task is impossible.
