1 paise = 0.01 Rupees
Convert the paise to Rupees :
50 × 0. 01 = 0.5 Rupees
25 × 0.01 = 0.25 Rupees
Let the total number of coins be x then :
Since the ratio of 1 rupee : 50 paise : 25 paise is :
7 : 8 : 29
The sum of the ratios is :
7 + 8 + 29 = 44
50 paise = 8/44x
1 rupee = 7/44x
25 paise = 29/44x
Their total value is :
8/44x × 0.5 + 7/44x + 29/44x × 0.25 = 73/176x
73/176x = 159
73x = 159 × 176 =
73x = 27984
x = 383.3
Approximately 383
50 Paise coins are :
8/44 × 383 = 69.63
Approximately 70
