Question

A purse contains coins consisting of one Rupee, 50 paise
ans 25 paise. If the coins be in the ratio of 1:2:5 and their total
value be Rs. 260, find the number of coins of each kind.

Answer 1

Given:-

• In a Bag one Rupee, 50 paise and 25 paise whose values are in the ratio of 1:2:5. The total values of coins are 260.

To find:-

• the total number of coins.

Solution:-

Let us assume that

• Number of rs 1 = x
• Number of 50 p= 2x
• Number of 25 p= 5x

According to the QUESTION

$x + 2x + 5x = 260$

$→8x = 260$

$→x = \frac{260}{8}$

$→x = 32.5$

Hence,

$amount \: of \: rs \: 1 \: coin = 32.5 \times 1 = rs. \: 32.5$

$amount \: of \: 50 \: \: paisa \: coin = 32.5 \times 2 \times 50= 3250 \: paisa = rs. \: 32.5$

$amount \: of \:25 \: paisa \: coin = 32.5 \times 5 \times 25 = 4062.5 \: paisa$

$= > rs. \: 40.6$

On Summing up the above Obtained values the total amount in the bag is Rs. 32.5 + Rs. 32.5+ Rs. 40.6= Rs. 105.6
