Question

HELP PLEASE A total of 29 bills amounts to $73.00. If there are only $1 and $5 bills, how many of each are there?​

Answer 1

18 $1 bills and 11 $5 bills.

Explanation:

First, we use the guess-and-check method.

$5X29=$145

Then, $5-$1=$4.

$145-$73=$72

$72 divided by 4 is 18.

29-11=18

11x$5=$55

$1x18=$18

$55+18=73.
