The number of bills is two more than a multiple of 6, so 74 and 80 are the only possible choices given the first constraint. The second constraint implies that the number of bills is 2 more than a multiple of 4, so 70, 74, 78 are the only ones satisfying this. 74 is the only number satisfying both, so there must be 74 bills. \n" ); document.write( "
