Answer:
Number of 1 $ bill = 20
Number of 5 $ bill = 6
Explanation:
Let p represent number of one dollar bolls and q represent number of five bills.
A total of 26 bills are in a cash box.
p + q = 26 ------------------------- Equation 1
The total amount of cash in the box is $50
p + 5q = 50 ------------------------- Equation 2
Equation 2 - Equation 1,
p + 5q - p -q = 50 - 26
4q = 24
q = 6
Substituting in equation 1.
p + 6 = 26
p = 20
Number of 1 $ bill = 20
Number of 5 $ bill = 6
