100 notes were altogether
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that ratio of the number of $2 notes to the number of $5 notes was 4 : 1
number of $2 notes : number of $5 notes = 4 : 1
Let 4x be the number of $ 2 notes
Let 1x be the number of $ 5 notes
Given that total value of notes is $ 260
Therefore,
$ 2 (number of $ 2 notes ) + $ 5(number of $ 5 notes ) = $ 260
$ 2(4x) + $ 5(1x) = $ 260
8x + 5x = 260
13x = 260
x = 20
<em><u>Thus number of notes altogether is given as:</u></em>
4x + 1x = 4(20) + 1(20) = 80 + 20 = 100
Thus 100 notes were altogether
The answer is 5:9 or 5 to 9.

The total number of cars both the student and the teacher made is 49
let
total cars = x
cars made by student = s
cars made by teacher = t
Total = student + teacher
x = s + t
s = 2/7x
So,
x = 2/7x + t
x - 2/7x = t
t = (7x - 2x) / 7
t = 5/7x
Similarly,
s = t - 21
s = 5/7x - 21
equate both s equation
2/7x = 5/7x - 21
2/7x - 5/7x = -21
(2x - 5x) / 7 = -21
- 3/7x = -21
x = -21 ÷ -3/7
= -21 × - 7/3
= (-21 × -7) / 3
= 147/3
x = 49
Therefore, the total number of cars both the student and the teacher made is 49
