Part of the proceeds from a garage sale was $275 worth of $5 and $20 bills. If there were 5 more $5 bills than $20 bills, find the number of each denomination.
Suppose $20 bill=x Then $5 bill=x+5 Equation for the given case is: 20x+5(x+5)=275 20x+5x+25=275 25x+25=275 25x=250 x=10 (Which is number of $20 bill) Now number of $5 bill= 10+5 =15
Answer: Number of $20 bill= 10 and Number of $5 bill= 15
