You can put this solution on YOUR website! cashier has P 50, P 100, and P500 bills. the number of P50 bills is 5 more than 7 times the number of P100 and the number of P500 bills is four-fifths the number of P100 bills. If the total amounts that she has P18 100, how many of each type of bills are there?
--------------
Let # of P50 be "x":
Let # of P100 be "y":
Let # of P500 be "z":
--------------------------
EQUATIONS:
x = 7y + 5
z = (4/5)y
50x + 100y + 500z = 18100
-------------------------------
Rearrange:
50x + 100y + 500z = 18100
x -7y + 0 = 5
0 + 4y - 5z = 0
----------------------------
Use any method you know to get:
x = 152
y = 21
z = 16
==================
