Answer:there are 21 twenties and 8 fifties in the drawer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of bills that are twenties in the drawer.

Let y represent the number of bills that are fifties in the drawer.

The cash drawer contains 29 bills. All twenties and fifties. This means that

x + y = 29

If the total value of the bills is $820, it means that

20x + 50y = 820 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 29 - y

20(29 - y) + 50y = 820

580 - 20y + 50y = 820

- 20y + 50y = 820 - 580

30y = 240

y = 240/30 = 8

x = 29 - y = 29 - 8

x = 21

Answer:

There are 21 twenties and 8 fifties in the drawer.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of twenties

y is the number of fifties.

A cash drawer contains 29 bills.

This means that x + y = 29.

The total value of the bills is $820.

This means that 20x + 50y = 820.

So

x + y = 29

20x + 50y = 820

From the first equation, x = 29 - y. So:

20x + 50y = 820

20(29 - y) + 50y = 820

580 - 20y + 50y = 820

30y = 240

y = 8

And

x = 29 - y = 29 - 8 = 21

There are 21 twenties and 8 fifties.

Example 2:
Montano1993 [528]
Taking this example into account, we can see that setting the first value equal to 1, we obtain that F(x)=0.5x+1=4 and x=6. Using this information, we find that F(x+1)=0.5(x+1)+1=0.5(6+1)+1=4.5. It shows that when x is positive, the succussive terms are increasing.

Referring to that finding, if we set initial value less than zero, which means that we are solving 0.5x+1<0 and taking a number in the interval of the solution, which means x ∈ (- ∞, -20). Setting x=-19, we find that F(x)=0.5x+1=-19 and x=-40. In the next iteration, F(x+1)=0.5(x+1)+1=0.5(1-40)+1=-18.5. In the next iteration, F(x+2)=0.5(x+2)+1=0.5(2-40)+1=-18. By this way, we find that even if the initial value is less than zero, value of the successive iterations is increasing. 

Using the function g(x)=-x+2 and taking the initial value equal to 4, we find that g(x)=-x+2=4 and x=-2. In the next iteration, g(x+1)=-(x+1)+2=-(-2+1)+2=3. If we continue the iterations we'll see that they are decreasing.
Setting the initial value equal to 2, we find that g(x)=-x+2=2 and x=0. The next iteration is g(x+1)=-(x+1)+2=1. In this case, the interations are also decreasing. 
If we set the initial value equal to 1, we find that g(x)=-x+2=1 and x=1. In the next iteration, g(x+1)=-(x+1)+2=0 and the iterations are decreasing.

Hunter-Best [27]
Unless this is a trick question, I think 7 baskets. If you have 7 baskets then you can put 5 peaches in each basket. Hope this is right.
