In equation form, it will look like this. Note that this is more suitable for secondary students. The other tutor has written the equation form which is more for Sec 2 students, which I will do so here by your request.

Let the number of $5 notes be 1 unit. Since there are 19 more pieces of $2 notes than $5 notes, the number of $2 notes must be 1 unit + 19.

Now, since there are 1 unit pieces of $5 notes, their total value is 5 units (just like if you have three pieces of $5 notes, its total value is 3 x 5 = $15)

Since there are (1 unit + 19) pieces of $2 notes, we can say thatcher their total value is 2 units plus a further $38.

Values:
$5 —> 5 units
$2 —> 2 units + $38

Since the value of the $5 notes is $130 more than that of the $2 notes,

5 units = 2 units + 38 + 130
3 units —> 168
1 unit —> 56

Value of $5 notes
= 5 units
= 5 x 56
= $280
