50f+%2B+20t+=+400
5f+%2B+2t+=+40
f+%3C+8 since if f+=+8, there are no $20 chips
Suppose f+=+7
35+%2B+2t+=+40
2t+=+5 -can't have 1/2 a chip
-----------
Suppose f+=+6
30+%2B+2t+=+40
2t+=+10
t+=+5
------------
Suppose f+=+4
20+%2B+2t+=+40
2t+=+20
t+=+10
------------
Suppose f+=+2
10+%2B+2t+=+40
2t+=+30
t+=+15
