Answer 1

Answer :-

• The number of coins in the piggy bank is 28 coins.

Step-by-step explanation:

To Find :-

• Number of coins in the piggy bank.

Solution:

Given that,

• The ratio of fifty paise and one rupee coin in a piggy bank = 3:2
• Total amount = Rs. 70

Assumption: Let us assume the ratio of fifty paise and one rupee coin as 3x and 2x.

Therefore,

• 3x + 2x = 70

=> 3x + 2x = 70

=> 5x = 70

=> x = 70/5

=> x = 14

The value of x is 14.

Now, According the question,

• The number of coins in the piggy bank

We assumed the number of coins as 2x, So,

=> 2x

=> 2*14

=> 28

Hence, The number of coins in the piggy bank is 28 coins.
