    no. of $10 bill = 2

    no. of $5 bill = 3

    no. of $1 bill = 5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the no. of $10 bill be x

    Total value of $10 bill = $10*no. of $10 bill = $10x

    Given that

    Tanya has one more $5 bill than $10 bills

    Thus, no. of $5 bill = x+1

    Total value of $5 bill = $5*no. of $5 bill = $5 (x+1)

    Also Given

    she has two more $1 bills than $5 bills

    no. of $1 bill = no. of $2 bill + 2 = x+1+2 = x+3

    Total value of $2 bill = $2*no. of $2 bill = $1 (x+3).

    Therefore, total value of all the bill sin terms of x

    = 10x + 5 (x+1) + 1 (x+3)

    Given that she has total of $40,

    then

    10x + 5 (x+1) + 1 (x+3) = 40

    10x + 5x+5 + x+3 = 40

    => 16x + 8 = 40

    => 16x = 40-8=32

    => x = 32/16 = 2

    Thus,

    no. of $10 bill = x = 2

    no. of $5 bill = x+1 = 2+1 = 3

    no. of $1 bill = x+3 = 2+3=5
