Question

Alima has 76 coins, a mix of 50 p and 25 p
Find their numbers if the total money she
has is 729​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

For your question, let's assume there are "x" number of 50 p coins and "y" number of 25 p coins.

Hence,

Thus Total Money =

Since 50p = Rs 0.5 and 25p = Rs 0.25

But we have been given that the total money Alima has is Rs 29. Hence:

Here we know that (X + Y) is equal to 76, from the above equation, so we substitute it in this equation.

Now we find the value of Y, using the first equation:

Hence X = 40 and Y = 36.

Thus Alima has forty 50p coins and thirty-six 25p coins.
