Monica --- 10 bills

Tom ----- (1/5)10 + 10 = 12
Tom also has 4/5 of Monica's

(4/5) M = 12
M = 12(5/4) = 15

Monica has 15

To find out how many dollars in singles Elaine has, we can start by finding out how many single dollar bills Tom has.

Given that Tom has 1/5 more single dollar bills than Monica, and Monica has $10 in singles, we can calculate Tom's number of single dollar bills.

1/5 more than Monica's singles = 1/5 * $10 = $2

So, Tom has $10 + $2 = $12 in singles.

Now, we are given that Tom has 1/5 fewer single dollar bills than Elaine. To find out how many single dollar bills Elaine has, we can calculate the amount by adding the 1/5 of Tom's singles to Tom's singles.

1/5 fewer than Tom's singles = 1/5 * $12 = $2.4

Elaine has $12 + $2.4 = $14.4 in singles.

Therefore, Elaine has $14.4 in singles.
