The total value of the $1 bills and $5 bills in a cash box is $124. There are 8 more $5 bills than $1 bills. How many of each are there?
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Value Equation: O + 5F = 124 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity Equation: F = O + 8
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for \"F\" and solve for \"O\":
\n" ); document.write( "O + 5(O+8) = 124
\n" ); document.write( "O + 5O + 40 = 124
\n" ); document.write( "6O = 84
\n" ); document.write( "O = 14 (# of $1 bills)
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"F\":
\n" ); document.write( "F = O + 8
\n" ); document.write( "F = 14+8 = 22 (# of $5 bills)
\n" ); document.write( "=================================
