(a)
Change ratio into units.
Number of $2 notes = 12 u
Number of $5 notes = 7 u
Total number of notes
= 12 u + 7 u
= 19 u
(b)
Difference in the number of notes
= 12 u - 7 u
= 5 u
(c)
Total value of $2 notes
= 12 u x 2
= 24 u
Total value of $5 notes
= 7 u x 5
= 35 u
Total value of notes
= 24 u + 35 u
= 59 u
(d)
Difference in the value of notes
= 35 u - 24 u
= 11 u
Answer(s): (a) 19; (b) 5; (c) 59; (d) 11
