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
