The probability of drawing a $10 bill on the first draw is 5/30 (since there are 5 $10 bills out of a total of 30 bills). After removing one $10 bill, there are 4 $10 bills left out of 29 total bills. The probability of drawing a $50 bill on the second draw, given that a $10 bill was drawn on the first draw, is 15/29. Therefore, the probability of getting a $10 bill then a $50 bill is:
(5/30) * (15/29) = 25/174
Answer: 25/174
