A cashier at the gas station counts his $10 and $20 bills at the end of the day. He finds he has a total of 62 bills with a combined monetary value of $1020. If you wanted to solve for the number of $10 bills and the number of $20 bills the clerk has, which two equations would represent the correct system for this problem? (Assume that you are letting x represent the number of $10 bills and y represent the number of $20 bills). A. 20x + 10y = 300 : 10x + 5y = 1020 B. 10x + 20y = 62 10x + 20y = 1,020 C.x +y = 62 20x + 10y = 500 D. x +y 62 10x + 20y = 1,020
