Question

A women made a deposit of $196.If her deposit considered of 60 bills, some of them one-dollar bills and the rest being five-dollar bills, how many did she deposit?

Answer 1

X= one dollar bills
Y= five dollar bills
X+y=60
Y=(60-x)

1x+5y=196

Substitute y
X+5(60-x)=196
X+300-5x=196
X-5x=196-300
-4x=-104
X=-104/-4
X=26
Y=34(60-26)

So, there are 26 one dollar bills
And 34 five dollar bills
