Question

Wezi has sixty-three $5-bills to the bank to exchange them for $20-bills. How many $20-bills does Wezi get? Is there money left over? explain

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Wezi will get fifteen (15) $20-bills.

B. There will be $15 left.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. We have been given that Wezi has sixty-three $5 bills.

Let us find the total amount of money that Wezi has by multiplying 63 by 5.

$\text{Total amount of money Wezi has}=63\times\ 5$

$\text{Total amount of money Wezi has}=\ 315$

Therefore, Wezi has $315.

Since Wezi wants to exchange her total money of $5 bills with $20 bills, so let us divide total amount of money by 20.

$\text{The number of \ 20 bills}=\frac{\ 315}{\ 20}$

$\text{The number of \ 20 bills}=15.75$

Since we cannot 0.75 of a $20 bill, so Wezi will get 15 $20-bills.

We can see that 315 is not completely divisible by 20, so let us subtract greatest multiple of 20 from 315.

We can see $15\times 20=300$, so upon subtracting 300 from 315 we will get,

$\ 315-\ 300=\ 15$

Therefore, there will be $15 left.
