    Option C

    The expression 20 (22 - x) represents the value of the $20 traveler's checks she has.

    Solution:

    Given, For her vacation Mrs. Andrews bought $300 worth of traveler's checks in $10 and $20 denominations travelers checks in all,

    We have to find how many of each denomination does she have?

    Let x represent the number of $10 traveler's checks she has,

    Then, $10 (x) + $20 (number of $20 checks) = 300

    10x + 20 ($20 checks) = 300

    x + 2 (number of $20 checks) = 30 ⇒ (1)

    Now let us see the given options, for value of $20 checks,

    It should be in format, that, $20 x number of $20 checks

    ⇒ 20 (total checks - $10 checks) ⇒ 20 (total checks - x), as we can see only C is in that format, it is correct and total number of checks = 22.

    Then, (1) ⇒ x + 2 (22 - x) = 30

    ⇒ x + 44 - 2x = 30

    ⇒2x - x = 44 - 30

    ⇒ x = 14

    So, $10 checks count = 14, then, $20 checks count = 22 - 14 = 8.

    Hence, there are 14 $10 checks and 8 $20 checks, and option c is correct.
