Question

Job cashed a check for $1,765. The teller gave him nine hundred-dollar bills, seven fifty-dollar bills, nineteen twenty-dollar bills, seven ten-dollar bills and x five-dollar bills. Determine the value of x.

Answer 1

x = 13

Explanation:

1765

x = 100 (9) + (7) 50 + (19) 20 + (7) 10 - 1765

x = 900 + 350 + 380 + 70 - 1765

x = 1700 - 1765

x = -65

65/5 = 13

x = 13
