Question

Peter has four more $ 50 bills than $ 10 bills in his wallet. If the total amount of his money is $ 380, how many $10 bills does Peter have?

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

x will represent the number of $50 bill

y is the $10 bills

y+4=x

50x+10y=380

Now we fill in x

$50(y+4)+10y=380\\50y+200+10y=380\\60y+200=380$

Subtract 200 from both sides

$60y=180$

Dide both sides by 60

$y=3$

Since y represents the $10 bills then Peter has 3 of them

Hope this helps
