Joe has four notes in his wallet. The total value of the notes is $75. Which type of note is not in Joe's wallet?
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

$ 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

No. of notes Joe has = 4

The total value of the notes = $ 75

From the given notes, 4 notes that can make the sum of 75 would be

$ 50 note + $ 10 + $ 10 note + $ 5

= 50 * 1 + 10 * 1 + 10 * 1 + 5 * 1

= $ 75  

Thus, the note that would not be included in the total value would $20 note as if we add it either the sum would be greater or lesser with four notes in combination.
