Let the number of ₹ 10 coins be x.
Hence, Number of ₹ 5 coins = 3x
Net amount of total number of ₹ 10 coins = 10 * x = ₹ 10x
Net amount of total number of ₹ 5 coins = 5 * 3x = ₹ 15x
Total amount in piggy bank = ₹ 10x + ₹ 15x = ₹ 25x
But, according to the question,
Total amount in piggy bank = ₹ 300
Therefore,
25x = 300
OR x = 300 ÷ 25
OR x = 12
Now we know that,
Number of ₹ 10 coins = x = 12
Hence, Number of ₹ 5 coins = 3x
Net amount of total number of ₹ 10 coins = 10 * x = ₹ 10x
Net amount of total number of ₹ 5 coins = 5 * 3x = ₹ 15x
Total amount in piggy bank = ₹ 10x + ₹ 15x = ₹ 25x
But, according to the question,
Total amount in piggy bank = ₹ 300
Therefore,
25x = 300
OR x = 300 ÷ 25
OR x = 12
Now we know that,
Number of ₹ 10 coins = x = 12

Suppose the number of ₹ 10 coins be p.
Therefore
Number of ₹ 5 coins = 3p
Net amount of total number of ₹ 10 coins = 10 × p
= ₹ 10p
Net amount of total number of ₹ 5 coins = 5 × 3p
= ₹ 15p
Total amount in piggy bank
= ₹ 10p + ₹ 15p
= ₹ 25p
Total amount in piggy bank = ₹ 300
Hence
25p = 300
p =
p = 12
According to the question
Number of ₹ 10 coins
P = 12
