    Sheila have 6 bills

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Suppose Sheila has x '20' dollar bills, so the total cost of her bill = $20x

    Suppose Tamsin has y '10' dollar bills, so the total cost of her bill = $10y

    Equation 1

    Sheila has a total of $50 more than Tamsin

    10y + 50 = 20x

    Equation 2

    Tamsin has 1 more bill than Sheila.

    y = x + 1

    Now solve them by putting value of x in equation

    10 (x + 1) + 50 = 20x

    10x + 10 + 50 = 20x

    60 = 20x - 10x

    10x = 60

    x = 60/10

    x = 6

    and

    y = 7
