T are $20 bills. F are $50 bills


\n" ); document.write( "T + F = 15 Equation 1


\n" ); document.write( "20T + 50F = 390 Equation 2


\n" ); document.write( "Eq 1: T = 15-F (plug that into equation 2)


\n" ); document.write( "20(15-F) + 50F = 390


\n" ); document.write( "300 - 20F + 50F = 390


\n" ); document.write( "30F = 90


\n" ); document.write( "F = 3


\n" ); document.write( "T = 15-F = 15-3 = 12
