Given:
Total coins in bag =12
Increment of coins=25
Coins per 100 coin in one year
To find :
You need to increase the coins to 21 in the bag
Solution:
The increment rate is 25%, so the increment per year for 12 coins =
12 X 25/100 = 3 coins
Aladdin needs 9 more coins to have 21 coins in the bag
1 year=3 coins
1/3 year = 1 coin
12/3 years = 9
therefore, 4 years=9 coins
Hence, it will take 4 years to fill 21 coins in Aladdin's bag.
