Justin sells tickets at the theatre. At the end of the evening, he had $524.00 in toonies and $5 bills. The total number of coins and bills was 145. How many toonies and and $5 bills does he have

Answer 1

t + b = 145 1 tooney = $2 worth, b =$5 bill

2t +5b = 524

2t +2b = 290

subtract last equation from 2nd to get

3b = 234

b = 234/3 = 78 bills

and

t = 145-78= 67 coins
