Algebra.Com's Answer #4332 by Earlsdon(6294)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x = the number of $1.00 bills.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then: x($1.00) + (83 - x)($5.00) = $183.00 Simplify and solve for x.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + 415 - 5x = 183.00 \n" ); document.write( "415 - 4x = 183 Add 4x to both sides. \n" ); document.write( "415 = 183 + 4x Subtract 183 from both sides. \n" ); document.write( "232 = 4x Divide both sides by 4. \n" ); document.write( "x = 58\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The woman deposited 58 $1.00 bills\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "58($1.00) + (83 - 58)($5.00) = $58.00 + 25($5.00) = $58.00 + $125.00 = $183.00 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
