Viggo spent $80 on a shirt. He paid the shirt using $20 and $10 bills. If she gave the clerk one more $20 bill than $10 bills, how many $10 bills did he give? | Let x be the number of $10 bills.
So, there are (x + 1) $20 bills.
Adding the $10 and $20 bills should sum up to $80 so the equation is 10x + 20(x + 1) = 80.
Then, distribute 20 to x + 1 so it becomes 10x + 20x + 20 = 80.
Combining the like terms on the left side gives 30x + 20 = 80.
Then transfer 20 to the right side ... | Solve the following math problem and explain your reasoning step by step. | Viggo spent $80 on a shirt. He paid the shirt using $20 and $10 bills.
