Verified Answer :

The Answer would be C)32 five-dollar bills

Answer:  C) 32 five-dollar bills

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of $10 bills and y be the number of $5 bills .

Then according to the given question we have,

\(x+y=38...............(1)\\\\10x+5y=220\)

Multiplying equation (1) by 10 on both sides, we get

\(10x+10y=380..............................(3)\)

Now, subtract equation (2) from (3), we get

\(5y=160\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=32\)

Hence, there were 32 five dollars bills in deposit.
