Question

A wallet that holds $25 contains the same number of $1 bills, $5 bills, and quarters. How many of each type of bill or coin does the wallet contain?

Answer 1

It would hold 4 of each bill.

Answer 2

The wallet contains 4 $1 bills, 4 $5 bills, and 4 quarters.

$1 × 4 = $4
$5 × 4 = $20
$0.25 × 4 = $1
$4 + $20 = $24, $24 + $1 = $25.
