Let T be the number of 10-rs notes. Then the number of 50-rs notes is (40-T). The money equation is 10*T + (40-T)*50 = 1000. Simplify and solve for T: 10T + 2000 - 50T = 1000 ====> -40T = 1000-2000 = -1000 ====> T = {{(-1000}/(-40)}}} = 25. Answer. 25 10-rs notes and 40-25 = 15 50-rs notes. Check. 25*10 + 15*50 = 250 + 750 = 1000. ! Correct !.
