There are 2 more $20-notes than $10-notes.
- What is the value of the extra 2 $20-notes?
- What is the value of one $20-note and one $10-note?
- How many $10 notes are there?
- How many $20 notes are there?
(a)
Value of the extra 2 $20 notes
= 2 x 20
= $40
(b)
Value of one $20-note and one $10-note
= 20 + 10
= $30
(c)
Number of $10 notes
= (400 - 40) ÷ 30
= 360 ÷ 30
= 12
(d)
Number of $20 notes
= 12 + 2
= 14
Answer(s): (a) $40; (b) $30; (c) 12; (d) 14
