Algebra.Com's Answer #10949 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() 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 \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
