Question

A bag contais rupees 155 in the form of 1 ruppe, 50 paise and 10 paise coins in the ratio 3 : 5 : 7. Find the number of each types of coins.

Answer 1

No of 100p (Re1)= 3x

No of 50p = 5x

No of 10p = 7x

300x + 250x + 70x = 15500

620x = 15500

x = 15500/620 = 25

No of Re1 coins = 75

No of 50p = 125

10p coins = 175
