To solve this problem, we will use the guess and check method to evaluate the claims made by Bodhi and Manny against the conditions given.
### Given Information:
1. Total amount of money: $50
2. Total number of bills: 18
3. Bills are either $5 or $1.
Let:
- \( x \) = the number of $5 bills
- \( y \) = the number of $1 bills
We have the following equations based on the information:
1. \( x + y = 18 \) (equation for the total number of bills)
2. \( 5x + 1y = 50 \) (equation for the total amount of money)
### Checking Bodhi's Claim: 6 five dollar bills and 10 one dollar bills
Bodhi's claim:
- \( x = 6 \)
- \( y = 10 \)
We will plug these values into the equations to check their validity.
1. Checking the total number of bills:
\[
x + y = 6 + 10 = 16 \quad \text{(Not equal to 18)}
\]
2. Checking the total amount of money:
\[
5x + 1y = 5(6) + 1(10) = 30 + 10 = 40 \quad \text{(Not equal to 50)}
\]
So, Bodhi is incorrect.
### Checking Manny's Claim: 8 five dollar bills and 10 one dollar bills
Manny's claim:
- \( x = 8 \)
- \( y = 10 \)
We will plug these values into the equations to check their validity.
1. Checking the total number of bills:
\[
x + y = 8 + 10 = 18 \quad \text{(This is correct)}
\]
2. Checking the total amount of money:
\[]
5x + 1y = 5(8) + 1(10) = 40 + 10 = 50 \quad \text{(This is correct)}
\]
### Conclusion:
- Bodhi is incorrect.
- Manny is correct.
Thus, Manny has the correct solution: Jane has 8 five dollar bills and 10 one dollar bills.

Thus, Manny has the correct solution: Jane has 8 five dollar bills and 10 one dollar bills.
