Answer 2

Given:

The total amount in the bag=Rs.40

To find:

The number of coins of each type in the bag

Solution:

The number of coins of each type in the bag is 40. (Option 1)

We can find the number by following the given steps-

We know that there are 50 paise, 25 paise, 20 paise, and 5 paise coins in the bag.

Since the number of coins of each value is equal, let us assume that the number of coins of each of 50, 25, 20, and 5 paise is X.

Now, the value of these coins can be obtained by multiplying the number of coins by their value.

So, the value of all the coins in the bag=Value of 50 paise coins+Value of 25 paise coins+Value of 20 paise coins+Value of 5 paise coins

The value of all the coins in the bag=50×X+25×X+20×X+5×X

=50X+25X+20X+5X

=100X paise

We know that 100 paise= Rs.1

So, the value of all the coins in the bag is Rs. 1X.

We are given that the total amount in the bag is Rs.40.

So, 1X=40

X=40/1

X=40 coins

Therefore, the number of coins of each type in the bag is 40.
