number of 10's --- x
number of 20's ---- 22-x
10x + 20(22-x) = 300
10x + 440 - 20x = 300
-10x = -140
x = 14
She bought 14 10's and 8 20's
check: 14+8 = 22 check!
10(14) + 20(8) = 300 check!
BTW, time to update that textbook, I wonder how many people under 30 would even know what a traveler's check is.
