$10 |
Before |
1 u + 14 |
1 u |
Change |
+ 30 |

After |
1 u + 14 + 30 |
1 u - 6 |
Number of ten-dollar notes that Tommy exchanged into two-dollar notes
= 60 ÷ 10
= 6
Number of two-dollar notes that Tommy received from the exchange
= 60 ÷ 2
= 30
Number of more two-dollar notes than ten-dollar notes
= 14 + 30 + 6
= 50
