Here's a similar problem solved:
----
A cashier has 35 bills, all of which are $10 or $5 bills. The total value of the money is $135. How many of each type of bill does the cashier have?
------------
T + F = 35 --- # of bills
10T + 5F = 275 ----- value of bills
----------
T + F = 35 --- # of bills
2T + F = 55 --- 2nd eqn divided by 5
---------------------------------------------- Subtract
-T = -20
T = 20 $10 bills
F = 15 $5 bills
