Question

A bank teller has a total of 63 bills in​ five-, ten-, and​ twenty-dollar denominations. The total value of the money is $730.

(a) Find the total number of solutions.
​(b) Find the solution with the smallest number of​ five-dollar bills.
​(c) Find the solution with the largest number of​ five-dollar bills.
 
​(a) Let x be the number of​ five-dollar bills, y be the number of​ ten-dollar bills, and z be the number of twenty dollar bills. Translate the given information into two​ equations, using​ x, y, and z as the variables.
 
______=63
______=730
 
Thus, the solution with the largest number of​ five-dollar bills is when the bank teller has_____fives,______​tens, and_______twenties.
 
(Do not factor. Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the​ expressions.)
 
 
 
Expert Solution
Step 1

We can form two equations from the given information, 

x + y + z = 63

5x + 10y + 20z = 730

Using these two equations we can find the solutions.
