Problema Solution

A Bank teller has 54 $5 and $20 bills in her cash drawer. The value of the Bills is $780. How many $5 bills are there?

Answer provided by our tutors

x--> number of $5

y__> number of $20

x+y = 54

x=54-y

5x+20y =780

5(54-y)+20y =780

270-5y+20y=780

15y=510

y=34

x=54-34

x=20

Number of $5 =20

number of $20 =34
