1. Determine the change in the number of five-dollar notes

Fatimah exchanged 44 five-dollar notes, so the number of five-dollar notes decreased by 44.

2. Determine the change in the number of two-dollar notes

The value of 44 five-dollar notes is 4×$5=$204 \times \char36{}5 = \char36{}20.
The number of two-dollar notes she received is $20÷$2=10\char36{}20 \div \char36{}2 = 10.
So, the number of two-dollar notes increased by 1010.

3. Calculate the final difference between the number of two-dollar and five-dollar notes

Initially, two-dollar notes were 33 fewer than five-dollar notes.
Let the initial number of five-dollar notes be uu.
Initial two-dollar notes = u−3u - 3.
Final five-dollar notes = u−4u - 4.
Final two-dollar notes = (u−3)+10=u+7(u - 3) + 10 = u + 7.
Difference = Final two-dollar notes - Final five-dollar notes = (u+7)−(u−4)=7−(−4)=11(u + 7) - (u - 4) = 7 - (-4) = 11.
