Adam has some $20-notes and some $50-notes that add up to $640.
There are 4 less $50-notes than $20-notes.
- What is the value of the extra 4 $20-notes?
- What is the value of one $20-note and one $50-note?
- How many $50 notes are there?
- How many $20 notes are there?
(a)
Value of the extra 4 $20 notes
= 4 x 20
= $80
(b)
Value of one $20-note and one $50-note
= 20 + 50
= $70
(c)
Number of $50 notes
= (640 - 80) ÷ 70
= 560 ÷ 70
= 8
(d)
Number of $20 notes
= 8 + 4
= 12
Answer(s): (a) $80; (b) $70; (c) 8; (d) 12
