what 3 bills can you use to make $16 without using tens or coins?

You might not be able to solve this question with using just American $.....

If there is a way, I'm sorry I couldn't help you...

To solve this problem, we need to find three different bills that can be added together to make a total of $16, without using any tens or coins.

First, let's list the possible bills we can choose from:
- $1 bill
- $2 bill
- $5 bill
- $20 bill
- $50 bill
- $100 bill

Since we cannot use tens (i.e., $10 bill), we must not select it as one of our three bills. Similarly, we cannot use coins, so we will exclude the $1 bill from our choices as well.

Now, let's go through the remaining options and see if any combination of three bills can add up to $16. We can try the following combinations:

Combination 1: $2 bill + $2 bill + $2 bill
In this case, we are using three $2 bills, which gives us a total of $6. Therefore, this combination does not meet the requirement of $16.

Combination 2: $2 bill + $5 bill + $5 bill
Here, we used one $2 bill, one $5 bill, and another $5 bill. The sum of these bills is $12, which is still short of $16.

Combination 3: $5 bill + $5 bill + $5 bill
In this combination, we used three $5 bills, giving us a total of $15, but again falling short of $16.

Thus, after evaluating all the combinations, we can conclude that there is no combination of three bills (excluding tens and coins) that can equal $16.
