Answer:

32 one-dollar bills.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>x </em>represent one-dollar bills and <em>y </em>represent two-dollar bills.

He has a total of 49 bills. Therefore:

x+y=49

The total amount of money James has is 66. <em>x</em> is worth one dollar, while <em>y</em> is worth two dollars. Therefore:

1x+2y=66\\x+2y=66

We have a system of equations. Solve by substitution:

x+2y=66\\x+y=49\\x=49-y\\(49-y)+2y=66\\y=17\\x=49-17=32

Therefore, James has 32 one-dollar bills and 17 two-dollar bills.

Checking:

32(1)+17(2)\stackrel{?}{=}66\\32(1)+17(2)\stackrel{\checkmark}{=}66\\\\32+17\stackrel{?}{=}49\\49\stackrel{\checkmark}{=}49

Tanner is an 8th grader in Texas and wants to attend Stanford University after he graduates from
postnew [5]

Tanner will have to save $3,193.34 per month for 4 years to pay his tuition for Stanford.

Tanner's tuition over 4 years to get his Bachelor's degree all together will cost $185,280 (multiply 46,320×4). His parents will pay $32,000 (multiply 8,000×4) of his whole tuition. If we do the equation $185,280-$32,000 we get $153,280 which is what Tanner will have to pay. There are 48 months in 4 years. To find the answer you must solve the problem 48x= $153,280. To solve the problem divide both sides by 48. The answer to this equation is technically $3,193.3333333333 but for simplicity's sake we can round to $3,193.34. That is why the answer to this question is $3,193.34 per month of savings.
