Question 1080635: Josephine has the same amount of $20 bills as she has $1 bills and four more $5 bills than $1 bills for a total of $72. How many of each does she have ? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let n be the amount of ones and twenties Josephine has; and n+4 be the amount of fives. Then:
20n+n+5(n+4)=72
26n=52
n=2
Josephine has 2 ones, 6 fives, and 2 twenties. ☺☺☺☺
