Comparing $100-notes and $50-notes |
1x4 = 4 u |
1x4 = 4 u |

The number of $100-notes and $50-notes in the end is the same.
The number of $100-notes in the end is repeated. Make the number of $100-notes in the end the same. LCM of 1 and 4 is 4.
Number of notes at first
= 7 u + 4 u - 5
= 11 u - 5
11 u - 5 = 94
11 u = 94 + 5
11 u = 99
1 u = 99 ÷ 11 = 9
Number of $100-notes at first
= 7 u
= 7 x 9
= 63
Total value of $100-notes at first
= 63 x 100
= $6300
Number of $50-notes at first
= 4 u - 5
= 4 x 9 - 5
= 36 - 5
= 31
Total value of $50-notes at first
= 31 x 50
= $1550
Amount that Anna had at first
= 6300 + 1550
= $7850
Answer(s): $7850
