let
x = the number of five dollar bills
y = the number of hundred dollar bills
a cashier has a total of 95 bills
x + y = 95
the total value of the money is $5415
5x + 100y = 5415
by solving the system of equations
x + y = 95
5x + 100y = 5415
we find
x = 43 five dollar bills
y = 52 hundred dollar bills
