You can put this solution on YOUR website!
To solve this you need \"quantity\" information and \"value\" information.
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity Information is as follows:
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"x\" be the number of ten-dollar bills.
\n" ); document.write( "Then \"x+10\" is the number of five-dollar bills.
\n" ); document.write( "And 91-(x+x+10)= [91-2x-10]=[81-2x] one-dollar bills.
\n" ); document.write( "Value information:
\n" ); document.write( "Value of the ten-dollar bills is 10x
\n" ); document.write( "Value of the 5=dollar bills is 5(x+10)=5x+50
\n" ); document.write( "Value of the 1-dollar bills is 1[81-2x]
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( " Value of 10-dollar + Value of 5-dollar + Value of 1-dollar = 547 dollars
\n" ); document.write( " 10x + 5x+50 + 81-2x = 547
\n" ); document.write( " 13x +81 = 547
\n" ); document.write( " 13x = 466
\n" ); document.write( " x = 35.85 (number of 10-dollar bills)
\n" ); document.write( "That doesn't make any sense. I suspect you did not post the information
\n" ); document.write( "stated in your problem regarding regarding how the number of one-dollar
\n" ); document.write( "bills relates to the number of ten-dollar bills. Check your problem
\n" ); document.write( "statement.\r
