Kimberly had a total of 119 pieces of $100 and $10 notes at first. She spent
38 of the number of $100 notes and received another 11 pieces of $10 notes from her mother. After that, the number of $10 notes she had was
12 of the remaining notes. How much money did Kimberly have at first?

Comparing $100-notes and $10-notes |
1x5 = 5 u |
1x5 = 5 u |

The number of $100-notes and $10-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 5 is 5.
Number of notes at first
= 8 u + 5 u - 11
= 13 u - 11
13 u - 11 = 119
13 u = 119 + 11
13 u = 130
1 u = 130 ÷ 13 = 10
Number of $100-notes at first
= 8 u
= 8 x 10
= 80
Total value of $100-notes at first
= 80 x 100
= $8000
Number of $10-notes at first
= 5 u - 11
= 5 x 10 - 11
= 50 - 11
= 39
Total value of $10-notes at first
= 39 x 10
= $390
Amount that Kimberly had at first
= 8000 + 390
= $8390
Answer(s): $8390
