Answer:
There are 66 gold coins in the jar.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of silver coins = X
Then the number of gold coins = 3X (as there exist 1/3 number of silver coins as gold)
Total coins =88
Total coins = silver coins + gold coins
Total coins = X + 3X = 88
Total coins = 4X = 88
X = 88/4
X = 22
Of silver coins = 22
No. Of gold coins = 3X = 3×22
No. Of gold coins = 3X= 66
Check
Total coins = 3X + X = 88
66+22 = 88
88 = 88
Therefore verified.
Hence, The jar contains 66 gold coins.
