Answer 1

Answer:

If 4/5 of what I have is 8/9 of what you have, how much do I have then? I have two 10 paisa coins. If 4/5 of what I have is 8/9 of what you have, how much do I have then? x = 18.

Answer 2

Given:

The number of 10 paise coins=2

To find:

The amount of money with you if 4/5 of what I have is 8/9 of what you have

Solution:

The amount of money with you if 4/5 of what I have is 8/9 of what you have is 18 paise.

We can find the amount by following the given process-

Let us assume that the amount of money with you is X.

We know that I have 2 coins of 10 paise.

So, the total of money that I have=2×10=20 paise.

Now, we are given that 4/5 of what I have is 8/9 of what you have.

The 4/5th of what I have=4/5 of 20 paise

=4/5×20

=4×4

=16 paise

Also, 8/9 of what you have=8/9 of X.

=8X/9

On equating these, we get

8X/9=16

8X=16×9

X=16×9/8

X=2×9

X=18 paise

Therefore, the amount of money with you if 4/5 of what I have is 8/9 of what you have is 18 paise.
