A sum equals L.E 8,it is wanted to change it to 21 banknotes,some of them are 25 piasters and the others are of 50 piasters .find the number of banknotes of each type.
 
the answer i read 
let the number of banknotes of P.T25 be X and the number of banknotes of P.T50 be Y
X+Y=21 (EQUATION 1)
25X+50Y=800
DIVINDG BY 25
X+2Y=32 (EQUATION 2 )
SUBTRACTING 1 FROM 2 
Y=11,X=10
