Choose the correct choice from the following options.
A) 28
B) 58
C) 48
D) 67
E) 76
Let x represent the number of $10 bills in the bag. Next, use the same variable to represent the   number of $5 bills. If there are 130 bills in all, then 130 x represents the number of $5 bills.   Now you need to establish a relationship between the number of bills and their value.   Using the expression above, the total value of the $10 bills is 10x, and the total value of   the $5 bills is 5(130 x).   Write an equation and solve. 10x 5(130 x) 890 Multiply both terms in parentheses by 5.   10x 650 5x 890 Combine like terms.   5x 650 890 Subtract 650 from both sides.   5x 240 Divide both sides by 5 to get the   x 48 number of $10 bills.   130 x 82 Subtract to find the number of $5 bills.   Answer: There are 48 ten-dollar bills and 82 five-dollar bills.   Check: (48 $10) (82 $5) $480 $410 $890. The answer is correct.   correct answer 48
