3. A donation box was placed at the entrance of a busy shopping mall, and passers-by dropped in
$1, $2 or $5 notes. After one week, the money in the box was sorted by denomination and
counted. The total amount in the box was $150. The number of $1 notes was equal to the total
number of $2 and $5 notes. Also, one quarter of the total number of notes was needed to make
up the same total amount of money using just $10 notes.
