Adam has some $5-notes and some $50-notes that add up to $460.
There are 4 more $5-notes than $50-notes.
- What is the value of the extra 4 $5-notes?
- What is the value of one $5-note and one $50-note?
- How many $50 notes are there?
- How many $5 notes are there?
(a)
Value of the extra 4 $5 notes
= 4 x 5
= $20
(b)
Value of one $5-note and one $50-note
= 5 + 50
= $55
(c)
Number of $50 notes
= (460 - 20) ÷ 55
= 440 ÷ 55
= 8
(d)
Number of $5 notes
= 8 + 4
= 12
Answer(s): (a) $20; (b) $55; (c) 8; (d) 12
