Answer 1

Answer:

Mr. Otsuki could have:

10 $20 bills

5 $10 bills

10 $5 bills

but there are many other ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

We already know that Mr. Otsuki already has at least $245.

10 $20 bills - $200

at least 9 $5 bills - $45

300 - 245 = 55

55 can be made up in many different ways

5 tens + 1 five

9 fives+ 1 tens

4 tens + 3 fives

5 fives+ 3 tens

2 tens + 7 fives

A.

10 $20 bills

5 $10 bills

10 $5 bills

10 $20 bills

1 $10 bills

9 $5 bills
