Question

a bag contains 25 paise and 50 paise coins whose total value is 24 if the number of 25 paise coins is 4 times that of 50. Find the number of each type of coins

Answer 1

let the no of 50 paise coin be x
so no of 25 paise coin=4x
now from question
25(4x)+50x=2400
150x=2400
x=2400/150
x=16
so no of 50 paise coin=16
and no of 25 paise coin=16×4=64 Answer
