The correct statement will be that the maximum number of $5 bills that can be in Hermione's purse will be 7. So, the correct option that matches the statement is D.

The number of bills of $5 are seven, as Hermione also has at least one bill of $1.

Calculation of bills.

  • Considering Hermione has at least one bill of $1, then the computation of total bills out $40 can be shown as below,

  • [tex]40= 1+x[/tex]

  • where x is the number of $5 bills

  • So we know that the maximum number of bills of $5 that can be kept by Hermione is 7 as $35 is the nearest number possible and seven bills of $5 will constitute $35.

Hence, it can be concluded that option D is correct that there are seven bills of $5 in the purse of Hermione and hence there will be five bills of $1  in her purse.
