Question

Akshaya has 2 rupee coins and 5 rupee coins in her purse. If in all she has 80 coins totalling ₹ 220, how many coins of each kind does she have.

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of 2 rupee coins = 60

Number of 5 rupee coins = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number 2 rupee coins be x.

Let number 5 rupee coins be y.

x + y = 80 ( she has 80 coins totally)--------> 1

2x + 5y = 220 ------------>2

statement 1 * by 2    2x + 2y = 160

statement 2              2x + 5y = 220

subtrace 1 - 2----> - 3y = - 60

                                y   = -60/ -3

                                 y = 20

 x = 60
