The difference in value between 7 $5 notes and 7 $2 notes is $35-$14 = $21. \n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: $21 \n" ); document.write( "c) He has only his $2 notes left, and he has 15 of them, so he has $30 left. That $30 is $110 less than what Clive has, so Clive has $30+$110 = $140. The number of $5 notes Clive has is $140/$5 = 28. \n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: 28 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
