Answers
- Boy has 50 paise and 25 paise coins
- Total number of coins is 94
- The value is Rs. 29.75
- Number of 50 paisa and 25 paisa coins
- Let the number of 50 paisa coins be x
- Let the number of 25 paisa coin be y
Total number of coins is 94
➠ x + y = 94 -------- (1)
Also given that , the value of total coins is Rs. 29.75
➠ 50(x) + 25(y) = 2975
⟮ Dividing the above equation by 25 ⟯
➜ 2x + y = 119 ------- (2)
⟮ Subtracting equation (1) from (2) ⟯
➜ 2x + y - (x + y) = 119 - 94
➜ 2x + y - x - y = 25
➨ x = 25
- Hence there were 25 coins of 50 paisa
⟮ Putting x = 25 in (1) ⟯
➜ x + y = 94
➜ 25 + y = 94
➜ y = 94 - 25
➨ y = 69
- Hence there were 69 coins of 25 paisa
