Let us say that:

a = ones

b = fives

c = twenties

 

So that the total money is:

1 * a + 5 * b + 20 * c = 229

=> a + 5b + 20c = 229                                       --> eqtn 1

 

We are also given that:

c = a – 5                                                                --> eqtn 2

a + b + c = 30                                                      --> eqtn 3

 

Rewriting eqtn 3 in terms of b:

b = 30 – a – c

Plugging in eqtn 2 into this:

b = 30 – a – (a – 5)

b = 35 – 2a                                                           --> eqtn 4

 

Plugging in eqtn 2 and 4 into eqtn 1:

a + 5(35 – 2a) + 20(a – 5) = 229

a + 175 – 10a + 20a – 100 = 229

11a = 154

a = 14

 

So,

b = 35 – 2a = 7

c = a – 5 = 9

 

Therefore there are 14 ones, 7 fives, and 9 twenties.

Ralph Chase plans to sell a piece of property for ​$160,000. He wants the money to be paid off in two ways monica ​short-term no
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

  • short-term: $90,000
  • long-term: $70,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount borrowed on the short term. Then 160000-x is the amount of the long-term note. The total interest is ...

  0.11x +0.08(160000-x) = 15500

  0.03x + 12800 = 15500 . . . . simplify

  0.03x = 2700 . . . . . . . . . subtract 12800

  x = 2700/.03 = 90,000 . . . . short-term note

  160,000 -90,000 = 70,000 . . . . long-term note

The short-term note was for $90,000; the long-term note was for $70,000.

Sergio039 [100]

Wouldn't the answer be any number which has the hundredths place as a 5? For example, 23,521.

As 50 x 10 = 500 and the 5 in 23,521 represents 500.
