Question

I have ₹ 50 in the form of 25-paise coins and 50-paise coins . The number of 25-paise coins is three times the number of 50- paise coins . Find the number of 50- paise coins​

Answer 1

Answer:

Total amount in the bag = Rs. 30=3000 paise

Let the number of 50 paise coins be x

Then the number of 25 paise coins =4x

Now, according to the question

25(4x)+50x=3000

100x+50x=3000

150x=3000

x= 150

3000

x=20

4x=80

Therefore, number of 50 paise coins =20

Number of 25 paise coins =80
