Linear-systems/499851: is this the same as the section as Applications of Linear Systems? Ex: A motel clerk counts his $1 and $10 bills at the end of the day. He finds that he has a total of 74 bills having a combined monetary value of $326. Find the number of bills of each denomination that he has. let x= the number of $1 bills the clerk has, and y= the number of $10 bills he has He has 74 bills altogether, so one equation is x+y=74. To find the second equation, the dollar amount in $1 bills plus the dollar amount in $10 bills is $326, so 1x+10y=326. 1 solutions Answer 337894 by rfer(12654)   on 2011-09-18 17:36:28 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! x+y=74 y=74-x --------------- x+10y=326 x+10(74-x)=326 x+740-10x=326 -9x=-414 x=-414/-9 x=46 ------------ y=74-46 y=28
