Answer:

Number of 1 $ bill = 20

Number of 5 $ bill = 6

Explanation:

 Let p represent number of one dollar bolls and q represent number of five bills.

A total of 26 bills are in a cash box.

      p + q = 26    ------------------------- Equation 1

The total amount of cash in the box is $50

      p + 5q = 50    ------------------------- Equation 2

Equation 2 - Equation 1,

        p + 5q - p -q = 50 - 26

        4q = 24

          q = 6

Substituting in equation 1.

         p + 6 = 26

         p = 20

Number of 1 $ bill = 20

Number of 5 $ bill = 6

Why might soft drink companies be interested in the dimensions that give the minimum surface area?
12345 [234]
When surface area is minimized, that means the less material companies would have to use for the can. Companies can spend less money on aluminum for the can and still hold the same amount of that beverage inside the can.

Which does NOT represent an obtuse angle
Darya [45]
Hey there!

An obtuse angle is defined as an angle that is wider than 90° but less than 180°. For example, a 68° would not be considered obtuse, but a 107° would. As long as the degree is between 90 and 180, the angle is obtuse. Any other angle (either between 0 and 90 OR 180 and 360) is not obtuse. 

You can use this information to answer the question based on the angles you have been given. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)
