Question

a purse has only one rupee and two Rupee coins in 8 the number of 2 rupee coins is one third the number of one rupee coins if the purse has rupees 115 find the number of 2 rupee coins

Answer 1

Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let no. of 2 rupee coins be = x

Let no. of 1 rupee coins be = y

also, x = 1/3 y

Total money = Rupees 115

2x + 1y = 115

2(1/3 y) +y = 115

5y/3 = 115

5y = 345

y = 69

so, no. of 1 Rupee coins is 69.

x = 1/3 y

x = 69/3 = 23

So, no. of 2 Rupees coins is 23.
