n of the P50 bills,
then 84-n of the P10 bills.

Total Money: %2884-n%2910%2B50n=3250
or a little better,
10%2884-n%29%2B50n=3250--------------Solve for n.

        The problem is posed INCORRECTLY
        and has no solutions in integer positive number of bills.


Indeed, it is clear that the total of 84 bills of P10 and P50 should be multiple of P20;
but 3250 is not a multiple of 20.


So, the situation described in this post, may NEVER happen in real life.
