Answer: The number $1 bills is 8 and the number of $5 bills is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes $1 bills and y be denotes $5 bills.

Then , we have the following equations :-

[tex]x+y=13-------(1)\\\\x+5y=33-------(2)[/tex]

Subtracting equation (1) from (2), we get

[tex]4y=33-13=20\\\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{20}[4}=5[/tex]

Substitute y=5 in equation(1), we get

[tex]x+5=13\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=13-5=8[/tex]

Hence, the number $1 bills is 8 and the number of $5 bills is 8.
