Students are donating money to a charity fund that helps less privileged kids. The number of $2, $5 and $10-notes donated are in the ratio of 9:2:5. 4/9 of the $2-notes and 10 $5-notes are taken out. The remaining notes are worth $300. How many $10-notes are there?

The ratio can be expressed as 9x:2x:5x. we get the equation:

9x2+2x5+5x10949x250=300

Simplifying it we get:

 18x+10x+50x8x=350

70x=350

Soving it we get x=5. This means that there are 55=25 $10 notescool
