Creepy Pasta, this is the solution:
Amount of the check = $ 260
• 3x = Number of one dollar bills (three times as many fives)
,• x = Number of five dollar bills
,• 0.5x = Nnumber of ten dollar bills (half as many fives)
In consequence,
3x + 5x + 5x = 260
13x = 260
Dividing by 13 at both sides:
13x/13 = 260/13
x = 20 (This is the number of five-dollar bills)
This means that the bank teller will cash the check with the following denominations of cash:
• 60 one-dollar bills = $ 60 ,(three times as many fives)
,• 20 five-dollar bills = $ 100
,• 10 ten-dollar bills = $ 100 ,(half as many fives)
100 + 100 + 60 = 260
