100 notes were altogether
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that ratio of the number of $2 notes to the number of $5 notes was 4 : 1
number of $2 notes : number of $5 notes = 4 : 1
Let 4x be the number of $ 2 notes
Let 1x be the number of $ 5 notes
Given that total value of notes is $ 260
Therefore,
$ 2 (number of $ 2 notes ) + $ 5(number of $ 5 notes ) = $ 260
$ 2(4x) + $ 5(1x) = $ 260
8x + 5x = 260
13x = 260
x = 20
<em><u>Thus number of notes altogether is given as:</u></em>
4x + 1x = 4(20) + 1(20) = 80 + 20 = 100
Thus 100 notes were altogether
There are many ways to solve simultaneous linear equations. One of my favorite for finding integer solutions is graphing. The attached graph shows the solution to be ...
... (x, y) = (4, 7)
_____
You can also use Cramer's Rule, or the Vedic math variation of it, which tells you the solution to
is given by
Here, that means
... x = (9·67-5·75)/(9·8-5·3) = 228/57 = 4
... y = (75·8-67·3)/57 = 399/57 = 7

A (graphing) calculator greatly facilitates either of these approaches.
7.8+3.5(6.8)-1.5
7.8+23.8-1.5
31.6-1.5

Answer:
3/6, 2/6.
Step-by-step explanation:
The lowest common denominator of 2 and 3 is 6.
1/2 = 3/6 and 1/3 = 2/6
So this pair of fractions is 3/6, 2/6.
