Answer 2

Answer:

600 coins

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Rs. 1, 50 paise and 25 paise coins in ratio of 3 : 4 : 8
• Total Amount in bag = Rs. 280

To find :

• The total number of coins in the bag.

Solution:

Let the number of Rs. 1 coins in bag = 3x

Let the number of 50 paise coins in bag = 4x

Let the number of 25 paise coins in bag = 8x

So, the total number of coins in the bag

=> 3x + 4x + 8x = 15x

Also,

• 50 paise = Rs. 0.5
• 25 paise = Rs. 0.25

So,

• The amount made up from Rs. 1 coins in bag = $\rm 3x \times 1 = \bf Rs. \ 3x$

Simillarly,

• The amount made up from 50 paise coins in the bag = $\rm 4x \times 0.5 = \bf Rs. \ 2x$

• The amount made up from 25 paise coins in the bag =$\rm 8x \times 0.25 = \bf Rs. \ 2x$

So, the total amount in the bag,

=> Rs. 3x + Rs. 2x + Rs. 2x = Rs. 7x

Also,

Total amount in the bag = Rs. 280

Therefore,

=> 7x = 280

=> x = 280/7

=> x = 40

Total number of coins in the bag = 15x,

Therefore,

$\rm \therefore 15x = 15 \times 40 \\ \rm \implies \bf \red{600}$

Hence, there are a total of 600 coins in the bag.
