Question

Hello everyone please answer to this, "A total of ₹12,500 is to be distributed among 45 persons as prizes. A prize is either₹500 or ₹100.Find the number of each type of prizes ​

Answer 1

let the 500rs prize be x

100rs =45- x

value of 500 rs prize =500x

value of 100 rs prize =100(45- x)

A/Q

500x +100(45- x )= 12500

500x +4500- 100x = 12500

400x = 12500- 4500

400x = 8000

x =8000/400

x =20

500rs prizes = 20

100rs prizes = 45- x

= 45- 20

= 25
