Question

A number of boys raised a subscription of Rs.450, each boy paying 4 times
as many 5 paise and again 3 times as many 10 paise as there were boys. Find
their number and the amount each paid.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

4 times 5 paise = 4*5=20 paise

3 times 10 paise=10*3=30 paise

total= 20+30=50 paise

total 450 Rs.

1 Rs. =100 paise

450 Rs. =450*100=45000 paise

number of boy's= 45000/50

= 900 boys

each boy's paid (4*5)+(3*10)=50 paise
