Question

a bag contains rs 740 in the form of rupee, 50 p and 25 p coins in the ratio 5:8:4 find the number of coins of each type​

Answer 1

Total amount in the bag=Rs 750

Let the number of rupee be 5x, number of 50 paisa coin be 8x and number of 25 paisa coin be 4x  

According to the question

5x(1)+8x(0.5)+4x(0.25)=50

5x+4x+x=750

10x=750

x=75

Therefore,

Number of coin of rupee=5×75=375

Number of coin of 50 paisa =8×75=600

Number of coin of 25 paisa=4×75=300
