Question

A cashier has a total of 135 bills, made up of fives and tens. The total value of the money

is $795. How many ten-dollar bills does the cashier have?

Answer 1

24 ten dollar bills

Explanation:

X = number of 10's

(135-x) is the number of 5's

5 * (135-x) + 10x = 795

Distribute 5

675 - 5x + 10x = 795

Combine like terms

5x+675 = 795

Subtract 675 from both sides

5x=120

Divide 5 by both sides

x=24
