There are 81 girls to every 72 boys in total, which can be represented by 81/72, which put into decimal form, is 1.125. If you then take the number of boys in the group, 16, and multiply it by this number (because the problem states that the ratio is constant) you can find the number of girls in the group.
16*1.125=18
So there are 18 girls in a group with 16 boys.

Answer:
Number of $5 bills = 32
Number of $10 bills = 14
Number of $20 bills = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x number of $5, y number of $10 and z number of $20
The number of $5 bills exceeds twice the number of $10 bills by 4.
Therefore, x = 2y + 4
The number of $20 bills is 6 fewer than the number of $10 bills.
Therefore, z = y - 6
A wallet contains $460 in $5, $10, and $20 bills.
Therefore,
5x + 10y + 20z = 460
Substitute x and y into equation
5(2y+4) + 10y + 20(y-6) = 460
10y + 20 + 10y + 20y - 120 = 460
40y - 100 = 460
40y = 460 + 100
40y = 560
y = 14
- Put the value of y into x = 2y + 4 and solve for x
x = 2(14) + 4
x = 32
- Put the value of y into z = y - 6 and solve for z
z = 14 - 6
z = 8
Hence, the each type of bills,
Number of $5 bills = 32
Number of $10 bills = 14
Number of $20 bills = 8
