Question

a bag contains 50 paise 25 paise and 10 paise coins in the ratio 5 is to 9 is to 4 amounting to rupees 206 find the number of coins of each type

Answer 1

let ratio be x.

Hence no. of coins be 5x ,9x , 4x respectively

Now given total amount = Rs.206

=> (.50)(5x) + (.25)(9x) + (.10)(4x) = 206

we get x = 40

=> No. of 50p coins = 200

=> No. of 25p coins = 360

=> No. of 10p coins = 160
