Question
A person bought clothes worth of $71 in a store. He wants to pay cash at the
counter with $2 and $5 bills he has. Model this problem as a linear diophantine equation and find
out how many different ways he can pay.
A positive integer is divisible by 5, but it leaves remainders of 1 and 7 (resp.)
when divided by 3 and 8 (resp.). Model this problem as a system of linear congruences and use
the Chinese Remainder Theorem to solve for the integer.
