There are 22 bills in all. How many of each kind are there? \n" ); document.write( "--------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "f = $5 bills \n" ); document.write( "n = $1 bills \n" ); document.write( "f+n = 22 (22 bills total) \n" ); document.write( "5f + n = 50 (each f is $5, each n is $1, and they add up to $50) \n" ); document.write( "------------ \n" ); document.write( "We have 2 eqns in 2 unknowns. \n" ); document.write( "Forget the money, the bills, the bank, it's a math problem now. \n" ); document.write( "-------------- \n" ); document.write( "5f + n = 50 \n" ); document.write( "f + n = 22 Subtract eqn 2 from eqn 1 \n" ); document.write( "----------- \n" ); document.write( "4f = 28 \n" ); document.write( "f = 7 \n" ); document.write( "------ \n" ); document.write( "n = 15 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
