- What could be the largest possible amount of money she had in her jar?
(a)
Total number of notes = 14
Smallest possible amount = 13 are $2 notes and 1 is $10 note
Smallest possible amount
= 13 x 2 + 10 x 1
= $36
(b)
Largest possible amount = 13 are $10 notes and 1 is $2 note
Largest possible amount
= 13 x 10 + 1 x 2
= $132
Answer(s): (a) $36; (b) $132
