Hello,
<u>Let's note</u>
a the number of $10 bills
b the number of $20 bills
The total value is $520 so we can write the first equation (1)
We know that there are 32 bills in total so we can write the second equation (2)
(1) - 10*(2) gives
10a + 20b - 10(a+b) = 520 - 320 = 200
10a + 20b - 10a - 10b = 10b = 200
So b = 200/10=20
and then from (2) a = 32 - 20 = 12
Hope this helps.
