Question

a purse contains Rs. 250 in notes of denominators of 10 and 50.if the number of 10 rupee notes is one more than that of 50 rupee notes find the number of notes of each denominator

Answer 1

Let the number of notes of Rs 50 be x

so the number of notes of Rs 10 are x+1

By the condition given

50x+10 (x+1)=250

50x+10x+10=250

60x=240

x=4

so the number of notes of Rs 50 are 4

the numbers of notes of Rs 10 are 5
