(a)
Change ratio into units.
Number of $2 notes = 3 u
Number of $5 notes = 2 u
Total number of notes
= 3 u + 2 u
= 5 u
(b)
Difference in the number of notes
= 3 u - 2 u
= 1 u
(c)
Total value of $2 notes
= 3 u x 2
= 6 u
Total value of $5 notes
= 2 u x 5
= 10 u
Total value of notes
= 6 u + 10 u
= 16 u
(d)
Difference in the value of notes
= 10 u - 6 u
= 4 u
Answer(s): (a) 5; (b) 1; (c) 16; (d) 4
