Rachel had a total of 9 notes in her jar. They were $2 and $50 notes.
- What could be the smallest possible amount of money she had in her jar?
- What could be the largest possible amount of money she had in her jar?
(a)
Total number of notes = 9
Smallest possible amount = 8 are $2 notes and 1 is $50 note
Smallest possible amount
= 8 x 2 + 50 x 1
= $66
(b)
Largest possible amount = 8 are $50 notes and 1 is $2 note
Largest possible amount
= 8 x 50 + 1 x 2
= $402
Answer(s): (a) $66; (b) $402
