Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "Create two equations.
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 98......(1)
\n" ); document.write( "5x + 20y = 1225....(2)
\n" ); document.write( ".......
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (1) by 20
\n" ); document.write( "20x + 20y = 1960....(1)
\n" ); document.write( "5x + 20y = 1225.....(2)
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract (2) from (1)
\n" ); document.write( "15x = 735
\n" ); document.write( "x = 49
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute x = 49 in
\n" ); document.write( "Equation (1)
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 98
\n" ); document.write( "49 + y = 98
\n" ); document.write( "y = 98 - 49
\n" ); document.write( "y = 49
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore the cashier has:-
\n" ); document.write( "49 x 5's
\n" ); document.write( "49 x 20's
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps:-)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
