Question

Bag contains rs.1 , 50 p and 25 p coins. the ratio of their value is 2 : 3 : 4 . the total number of coins are 960, then find the number of 50 p coin

Answer 1

Number of 50P coin = 400.

Number of 25P coin = 600.

Number of 20P coin = 800.

Explanation :

Let the ratio be x.

Number of coins be 2x, 3x, 4x respectively.

(2x * 50P) + (3x * 25P) + (4x * 20P) = 510.

(2x * 0.50) + (3x * 0.25) + (4x * 0.20) = 510.

2.55x = 510.

x = 200.

So,

Number of 50P coin = 2 * 200 = 400.

Number of 25P coin = 3 * 200 = 600.

Number of 20P coin = 4 * 200 = 800.
