$x-number\ of\ skiers\\x+1250-numbers\ of\ snowboarders\\\\\frac{skiers}{snowboarders}=\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow\frac{x}{x+1250}=\frac{1}{2}\ \ \ \ |cross\ multiply\\\\2x=x+1250\ \ \ \ \ \ |subtract\ x\ from\ both\ sides\\\\x=1250\\\\x+1250=1250+1250=2500\\\\Answer:There\ are\ 1250\ skiers\ and\ 2500\ snowboarders.$

A cashier has 26 bills consisting of three times as many ones as fives, one less ten than fives, and the rest twenties. If the v

Let number of fives = x then number of ones = 3x and number of tens = x - 1

so we can create the equation

x + 3x + x-1 + y = 26 where y = number of twenties
so
5x + y = 27

also we have the equation

5x + 3x + 10(x - 1) + 20y = 120

18x + 20y = 130..................................(1)
5x + y = 27 multiply by -20:-
-100x - 20y = -540..............................(2)
Adding equation (1) and (2)
-82x = -410
x = 5, that is 5 fives

Now plug x = 5 into equation 1:-
18(5) + 20y = 130
20y = 40
y = 2 , that is 2 twenties

So the answer is there are (3x) = 15 ones , 5 fives, 4 tens and 2 twenties
