Problema Solution

Part of the proceeds from a garage sale was $430 worth of $10 and $20 bills. If there were 7 more $10 bills than $20 bills, find the number of each denomination.

Answer provided by our tutors

let $20 bill be x and$10 be x+7

10(x+7) + 20x = 430

10x + 70 + 20x = 430

30x = 360

x = 12

$10 bills = 12+7 = 19

$20 bills = 12
