(1) The ratio of the number of bills to the total dollar value is 1/9.

(2) The total dollar value of the bills is $360.

Let F = the number of five dollar bills and T = the number of 10 dollar bills.
Thus:
Total number of bills = F + T.
Total dollar value of the bills = 5F + 10T.

Question stem:
What is the value of F/T?

Statement 1:
Since the ratio of the red expression to the blue expression is 1 to 9, we get:
(F+T)/(5F + 10T) = 1/9
9(F+T) = 5F + 10T
9F + 9T = 5F + 10T
4F = T
4 = T/F
1/4 = F/T.
SUFFICIENT.

Statement 2:
5F + 10T = 360
F + 2T = 72.
F = 72 - 2T.
If T=1, then F = 72 - (2*1) = 70, with the result that F/T = 70/1.
If T=2, then F = 72 - (2*2) = 68, with the result that F/T = 68/2.
Since F/T can be different values, INSUFFICIENT.

The correct answer is A.
