1. Of the three boys, who had the most money? 
2. What was the difference in the total value of Joe and Ike's notes? 
3. Ike used all his $10-notes to buy a souvenir. He then had $232 less than Zac. How many $10-notes did Zac have?

(a)
The three boys had the same number of notes.
$2-notes have a lower denomination than $10-notes.

Since Zac had only $10-notes, he had the most money.

(b)
Difference in the number of notes of different values
= 14 - 6
= 8

Difference in the value of $10-notes and $2-notes
= 10 - 2
= $8

Difference in the total value of Joe's and Ike's notes
= 8 x 8
= $64

(c)
Value of $2-notes that Ike had left
= 14 x 2
= $28

Total value that Zac had
= 232 + 28
= $260

Number of $10-notes that Zac had
= 260 ÷ 10
= 26

Answer(s): (a) Zac; (b) $64; (c) 26
