The bag contains total amount of rupees 8600. The hundred rupees notes fifty rupees notes and twenty rupees notes in the ratio 2:3:4.

Let the number of notes of rupees 100, 50 and 20 be 2x, 3x and 4x respectively.

$2x\times 100+3x\times 50+4x\times 20=8600$

$200x+150x+80x=8600$

$430x=8600$

$x=20$

The value of x is 20.

The number of fifty rupees notes is 3x.

$3\times 20=60$

Therefore, the number of fifty rupees note is 60.

Answer 2

Thank you for asking this question. Here is your answer

The bag contains 8600 and Ratio is 2:3:4 (this is given)  

The 50 rupee note is denoted by the ratio 3.

Now in order to solve this we will add the following:

2 + 3 + 4 = 9

Then we will solve this:  

8600 x 3/9  

= 2866.6

So if we subtract 8600 from 2866.6 the remaining money would be 50.
