The answer is 81 I think, I would suggest you to type in the calculator 4 • 18+9
Let us say that:
a = ones
b = fives
c = twenties
So that the total money is:
1 * a + 5 * b + 20 * c = 229
=> a + 5b + 20c = 229 -->
eqtn 1
We are also given that:
c = a – 5 -->
eqtn 2
a + b + c = 30 -->
eqtn 3
Rewriting eqtn 3 in terms of b:
b = 30 – a – c
Plugging in eqtn 2 into this:
b = 30 – a – (a – 5)
b = 35 – 2a -->
eqtn 4
Plugging in eqtn 2 and 4 into eqtn 1:
a + 5(35 – 2a) + 20(a – 5) = 229
a + 175 – 10a + 20a – 100 = 229
11a = 154
a = 14
So,
b = 35 – 2a = 7
c = a – 5 = 9
Therefore there are 14 ones, 7 fives, and 9 twenties.
120% of 37 is 44.4. Good luck!
Sum means add
sum of the 3 is
n+n+1+n+2
it add to 57
n+n+1+n+2=57
3n+3=57
minus 3 both sides
3n=54
divide both sides by 3
n=15
n+1=16
n+2=17
the integers are 15,16, and 17
