To represent the given situation with a system of equations, let's assign variables to the number of each denomination of bill.
Let:
- x represent the number of $1 dollar bills,
- y represent the number of $5 dollar bills,
- z represent the number of $10 dollar bills, and
- w represent the number of $20 dollar bills.
We are given that the total number of paper bills is 235:
x + y + z + w = 235 -- Equation 1
We are also given that the number of twenty dollar bills is twice the number of $1 dollar bills:
w = 2x -- Equation 2
And the number of $5 dollar bills is ten more than the number of $1 dollar bills:
y = x + 10 -- Equation 3
To solve this system of equations using matrices, we can represent the coefficients and constants of the equations in a matrix form. In this case, we'll have a coefficient matrix and a constant matrix.
The coefficient matrix is:
| 1 1 1 1 |
| 0 0 0 -2 |
| 1 -1 0 0 |
The constant matrix is:
| 235 |
| 0 |
| 10 |
We'll represent the variables in a matrix as well:
| x |
| y |
| z |
| w |
Now, we can solve the system of equations using matrix operations:
| 1 1 1 1 | | x | | 235 |
| 0 0 0 -2 | * | y | = | 0 |
| 1 -1 0 0 | | z | | 10 |
Let's multiply the coefficient matrix by the variables matrix:
| x + y + z + w | | 235 |
| -2w | = | 0 |
| x - y | | 10 |
Simplifying the equation further, we have:
x + y + z + w = 235 -- Equation 1
-2w = 0 -- Equation 2
x - y = 10 -- Equation 3
Now, we can see that Equation 2 represents w=0, which means there are no $20 dollar bills in the cash register.
Using Equations 1 and 3, we can solve for the values of x and y:
From Equation 3, we have:
x = y + 10
Substituting this into Equation 1, we get:
(y + 10) + y + z + 0 = 235
2y + z + 10 = 235
2y + z = 225 -- Equation 4
Now, you can solve Equations 2 (w=0) and 4 (2y + z = 225) to find the values of y and z using any method you prefer (substitution, elimination, etc.). With the values of y and z, you can then substitute them back into Equation 3 (x = y + 10) to find the value of x.
Please note that the mathematical calculations are not done here as it requires further processing by performing matrix operations or solving the equations. But this is the method to represent the situation with a system of equations and use matrices to solve them.
