<PRE><B>Question 1140649</B>
&lt;br&gt;
He started with 46 more $5 notes than $10 notes.&lt;br&gt;
He took out $545 in $5 notes; that is 545/5 = 109 $5 notes.&lt;br&gt;
So then he had 109-46 = 63 FEWER $5 notes than $10 notes.&lt;br&gt;
At that point he had 8 times as many $10 notes as $5 notes.&lt;br&gt;
You might be able to solve the problem mentally from there....&lt;br&gt;
Or use algebra:&lt;br&gt;
Let x = number of $5 notes left
Then 8x = number of $10 notes&lt;br&gt;
The number of $5 notes is now 63 less than the number of $10 notes:&lt;br&gt;
{{{x = 8x-63}}}&lt;br&gt;
Easily solved with basic algebra.&lt;br&gt;
Then, knowing the numbers of $5 and $10 notes at the end, you can easily answer both of the given questions.</PRE>
