Question

Arjun has a piggy bank where he collected only 50p coins and one rupee coins. It contained 4 times as many 50p coins as one rupee coins. If the total amount of money in the piggy bank is ₹111, find the number of each kind of coin in it.​

Answer 1

Answer:

0.50x+X=111

1.50x=111

X=111/1.50

X=74

0.50(74)+1(74)=111

37+74=111

111=111

Therefore,

50p has 74 coins and 1rupee has 74 coins in the piggy bank
