Let the no. of $10 bills be x, the no. of $5 bills be 2x, and the no. of $20 bills be y.

<span>A cashier collects 124 bills => x + 2x + y = 124  => 3x +y =124

</span>totaling $920 dollars => ($10)(x) + ($5)(2x) + ($20)(y) = $920 => 20x + 20y = 920

Now you got 2 equations :
3x +y =124 &
20x + 20y = 920

3x +y =124 => y=124-3x
Then Sub y=124-3x into 20x + 20y = 920,
ie. 20x + 20(124-3x) = 920 
     20x + 2480 - 60x = 920
     2480 - 40x = 920
      2480 - 920 = 40x
               1560 = 40x
                      x = 39

Answer:

3x - 8 = 2x + 12

(vertical angles)

x = 20

A straight line = 180 degrees,

so 3(20)-8=52

52+128 = 180

so y is 128.

Irina-Kira [14]

The answer is 190.

If the total amount of glasses is 5 per table and there are 45 total tables, there are 45*5 (225) total glasses before any are broken. 225 - 35 glasses (because they're broken) is 190.
