Question 807613
There is an infinite number of solutions!
Let c = value of each of the 8 checks
Let b = value of each of the 5 bills
Then we have
(1) 8c - 5b = 240 or
(2) 8c = 5b + 240 or
(3) c = (5/8)*b + 30
This is a straight line with c-intercept of 30 and a slope of 5/8.
Some solution points are (0,30), (8,35), (16,40) etc
The problem does not give you enough information to find the specific point on the line given by (3). However the question says to create values to make the statment true, and that we did!
Answer: any pair (b, (5/8)*b + 30).
