.
N=number of $1 bills; F=number of $5 bills=2N; T=number of 410 bills
.
N+F+T=17
N+2N+T=17
T=17-3N
.
$1N+$5F+$10T=$75
$1N+$5(2N)+$10(17-3N)=$75
$1N+$10N+$170-$30N=$75
-$19N=-$95
N=5
ANSWER 1: There are five $1 bills.
.
T=17-3N=17-3(5)=17-15=2
ANSWER 2: There are two $10 bills.
.
N+F+T=17
5+F+2=17
F=10
ANSWER 3: There are ten $5 bills.
.
CHECK:
$1N+$5F+$10T=$75
$1(5)+$5(10)+$10(2)=$75
$5+$50+$20=$75
$75=$75
