    The document contains 5 word problems with solutions: 1) A person has $100 worth of bills in denominations of $1, $5, and $10. The solution uses a system of equations to determine they have 20 $1 bills, 8 $5 bills, and 4 $10 bills. 2) A person wants to buy flowers worth $24 using lilies, roses, and daisies. The solution sets up and solves a system of equations to determine the number of each flower. 3) A diagram shows traffic volumes at intersections of one-way streets. The solution sets up systems of equations to determine the traffic between intersections and finds the traffic given one amount is 200 cars.

    Solution of Word Problems Continued….

    Question 1
    I have 32 bills in my wallet, in the denominations of US $ 1, 5 and 10, worth $100 in
    total. How many do I have of each denomination?
    Solution: Let x = no. of 1$ bills, y = no. of 5$ bills, z = no. of 10$ bills.
    System looks like:
    𝑥 + 𝑦 + 𝑧 = 32 − −−→ (1)
    {
    𝑥 + 5𝑦 + 10𝑧 = 100 − −→ (2)
    The augmented matrix is
    1 1 1 ∶ 32
    [ ]
    1 5 10 ∶ 100

    1 1 1 ∶ 32
    [ ] ~~~~~~~~~~~ 𝑅2 − 𝑅1
    0 4 9 ∶ 68
    1 1 1 ∶ 32 1
    [0 1 9 ∶ 17 ] ~~~~~~~~~~~ 𝑅1
    4
    4
    5
    1 0 − ∶ 15
    4
    [ 9 ] ~~~~~~~~~~~ 𝑅1 − 𝑅2
    0 1 ∶ 17
    4

    5 5
    𝑥 − 𝑧 = 15 ⇒ 𝑥 = 𝑧 + 15
    4 4
    9 9
    𝑦 + 𝑧 = 17 ⇒ 𝑦 = − 𝑧 + 17
    4 4
    Let 𝑧 = 𝑡,
    𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧 should be positive integers.
    Now we see the conditions on z or t.
    - First of all, let 𝑧 = 𝑡 should be multiple of 4.
    9
    - Further 𝑧 must be positive and 𝑦 = 17 − 𝑡 must be positive as well.
    4
    - 𝑡 = 4, 8, 12, 16 … … …
    Only 𝑡 = 4 works here, which gives 𝑧 = 4 and
    5
    𝑥 = 15 + (4) = 20
    4
    9
    𝑦 = 17 − (4) = 8.
    4
    So I have 20 one dollar bills, 8 five dollar bills, and 4 ten dollar bills.
    Question 2
    Ali is getting some flowers for his office. Being of a precise analytical mind, he plans to
    spend exactly $24 on a bunch of exactly two dozen flowers. At the flower market they
    have lilies ($3 each), roses ($2 each), and daisies ($0.50 each). Ali loves lilies, what is he
    to do?

    Solution:
    3l + 2r + 0.5d = 24
    l + r + d = 24
    Its Augmented matrix is
    3 2 0.5 : 24
    [ ]
    1 1 1 : 24
    .
    .
    .
    Complete it yourself
    Question 3
    In the downtown section of a certain
    city, two sets of one-way streets
    intersect as shown in Figure below.
    The average hourly volume of traffic
    entering and leaving this section
    during rush hour is given in the
    diagram. At each intersection, the
    number of automobiles entering must
    be the same as the number leaving.
    (a) Determine the amount of traffic
    between each of the four
    intersections.
    (b) The amount of traffic between
    intersections C and D averages
    200 automobiles. Please find the
    amount of traffic for other intersections.

    Solution: A: 𝑥1 + 450 = 𝑥2 + 610 ⇒ 𝑥1 − 𝑥2 = 610 − 450 = 160


    B: 𝑥2 + 520 = 𝑥3 + 480 ⇒ 𝑥2 − 𝑥3 = 480 − 520 = −40
    C: 𝑥3 + 390 = 𝑥4 + 600 ⇒ 𝑥3 − 𝑥4 = 600 − 390 = 210
    D: 𝑥1 + 310 = 𝑥4 + 640 ⇒ 𝑥1 − 𝑥4 = 640 − 310 = 330
    .
    .
    .
    1 0 0 −1: 330
    0 1 0 −1: 170
    [ ]
    0 0 1 −1: 210
    0 0 0 0: 0
    The solution is 𝑥1 =t+330, 𝑥2 = t+170, 𝑥3 = t+210, 𝑥4 = t.
    (b) Hence, for 𝑥4 = 200 , amount of traffic for other intersections is 𝑥1 = 530, 𝑥2 = 370,
    and 𝑥3 = 410.

    Work to do:
    Question 4
    Some parking meters in Milan, Italy, accept coins in the denominations of 20c, 50c, and
    €2. As an incentive program, the city administrators offer a big reward (a brand new
    Ferrari Testarossa) to any meter maid who brings back exactly 1,000 coins worth exactly
    € 1,000 from the daily rounds. What are the odds of this reward being claimed anytime
    soon?

    Question 5
    The new animated feature film is now playing 3 times a day in DHA Cinema. One day,
    there were 20 adults, 30 children and 10 senior citizens and theater made $600. At the
    next showing there were 24 adults, 60 children and 20 senior citizens with the theater
    making it $800 in ticket sale. At the last showing theater made $400 with 10 adults, 30
    children and 5 senior citizens. How much are the tickets at the movie theater?
