------
Equations:
Quantity: t + f = 70 bills
Value:: 20t+50f = 3200 dollars
-------------------------------
Multiply thru 1st by 20
---------------------------
20t + 20f = 20*70 bills
20t + 50f = 3200 dollars
----------------------
Subtract and solve for "f":
30f = 1800
---
f = 60 (# of fifty-dollar bills
---
solve for "t":
t = 70-60 = 10 (# of twenty-dollar bills)
