Question 32681: Perry has a total of 25 five and ten dollar bills in his pocket. The value of these bills is $175. How many ten dollar bills are in Perry's pocket? Answer by mukhopadhyay(490) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Assume Perry has x five dollar bills.
=> Perry must have (25-x) ten dollar bills.
5x+10(25-x) = 175

=> 5x = 75
=> x = 15
Perry has 10 ten dollar bills
