How many 1 USD and how many 5 USD is in the bag?

In his car, James has a bag with 1 USD and 5 USD for parking meters. Total there are 27 coins in the bag with a total value of 79 USD. How many 1 USD and how many 5 USD is in the bag?|||Let x be number of $5, y be number of $1


x+y=27


5x+y=79


Subtract first equation from second


4x = 52


x = 13


So y = 14


as 13 * 5 + 14 * 1 = 79
