x and x+4 are the numbers
3x=2(x+4)
3x=2x+8
3x-2x=8
x=8
x+4=12

Let the number of $1 bill be x and $5 bill be y
x=5y
5y+y=48
6y=48
x=40
y=8
number of $1 bill= 40
number of $5 bill = 8
Y = k/x where k is the constant of variation
y = 3 , x = 1.2 gives
3 = k/1.2
therefore
k = 3*1.2 = 3.6
and the required equation is
y = 3.6 / x
