There are 20 $5 bills and 10 $2 coins.

How to find the number of $2 coins and $5 coins using equation?

He bought a radio for $120. He paid for it with 2 coins and $5 bills.

let

the number of $5 bills = x

the number of $2 coins = y

Therefore,

y = 1 / 2 x

2y + 5x = 120

2(1  /2 x) + 5x = 120

x + 5x = 120

6x = 120

x = 120 / 6

x = 20

y = 1 / 2 × 20

y = 10

Therefore, there are 20 $5 bills and 10 $2 coins.
